Abstract
This research entitled “Language learning strategies adopted by the bachelor
level students” is an attempt to find out the strategies adopted by the students in
learning at class. It also aims to point out the problems faced by them while

strategy, students were using other strategies too. It was found that students
were facing with different problems in language learning.
