Abstract
Aim: To study the use of language learning strategies among freshmen of Gedu College of Business Studies.
 Study Design: A cross-sectional survey.
 Methodology: Data were collected through SILL, and they were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics.
 Results: Descriptive statistics revealed meta-cognitive as the most favored strategies while memory strategies were the least preferred ones among the respondents. However, the usage of all six strategies among Bhutanese college students was medium, which means the strategies were sometimes used. The independent t-test revealed statistically insignificant difference between the two groups of genders.
 Conclusion: This study examined the use of LLS among the freshmen of Gedu College of Business Studies. The findings of this study will have implications for learner autonomy and naturalistic exposure to English language. Such experiences are, therefore, expected to assist acquisition of English as a second language and develop learners’ communicative competence.
