 The Out-of-Class Language Learning Strategies of International Students in MalaysiaMarlyna Maros and Noor Saazai Mat Saad International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2016, vol. 6, issue 8, 478-486 Abstract: With the influx of international students in Malaysia, English language has become the bridge for communication and instruction in the academic milieu in Malaysian institutions. Most institutions provide English language classes but learning English is mostly done out of classroom environment. This study was initiated to understand how the international students maintain the learning process of the language in this context. In a survey of the Out-of-Class Language Learning Strategies (OCLLSs) of 250 international students in an institution in Malaysia, The findings revealed that they preferred to (1) learn English through watching television programme or movies, and (2) utilise tools mainly technology-affiliated in advancing themselves in the language. The study enables policy makers to develop facilities that could enhance the students learning preferences, which would ensure their successful achievements and future enrollment of international students to the institutions.
