Abstract: Learning and mastering a new language can be immensely helpful for cognitive health and can also aid learners to stay relevant and competitive in the global work market. However, without a proper learning strategy, the task of acquiring a new language can be challenging. This quantitative study was conducted to investigate how learners perceive their use of learning strategies in acquiring a new language. This study is rooted in Wenden and Rubin (1987), Learning Strategies Theory, which consists of three main elements: cognitive, resource management, and metacognitive strategy. The instrument used is a 5-point Likert scale survey. The survey has 4 sections. Section A contains items related to the demographic profile. Section B has 19 items on cognitive components. Section C has 11 items on metacognitive strategies. Section D has 11 items on resource management. A total of 110 students from two clusters, science and social science and humanities, at a public university in Malaysia participated in this study. Data were analysed using SPSS frequency statistics. The findings showed that all three components, cognitive, resource management, and metacognitive strategy are equally important in learners learning strategy in acquiring a new language. The correlation reveals that there is a strong positive correlation between resource management and cognitive components and also the relationship between resource management and metacognitive self-regulation. These findings suggest that foreign language teachers should be aware of different learning strategies used by learner and consider resource management when assisting learners in their learning process, as it significantly influences learners' learning strategies.
