Strategies of language learning are defined as strategies that contribute to the development of the language system which the learner constructs and affects learning directly (Rubin, 1987). There are six major categories of language learning strategies as developed by Oxford (1990).

This study was conducted to investigate the interrelationships among language learning strategy used, and self-efficacy that lead to proficiency in the second language. The respondents were a hundred and nine students from the Faculty of Mass Communication of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM).The students' use of language learning strategies was measured through a fifty-item questionnaire that was an adaptation of Oxford's (1990) Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). Their self-efficacy was also measured through a twenty eight-item questionnaire developed by Gahungu (2007) in which they expressed their levels of certainty that they could perform learning tasks at desired levels of proficiency.
