The result also suggests that various of teachingstrategies in the classrooms should be considered by the language teachers since the students havedifferent preferences to learn. Highlighting the importance of learners’ metacognitive strategies is alsorecommeded without ignoring out the other strategies.Key Words: language learning strategies, improving, speaking skill
