Untuk mengumpulkan data, peneliti memberikan sebuah kuesioner (LLSQ) dan test membaca. Data dianalisis dengan Independent t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) sebagian besar siswa menggunakan strategi kognitif (52,96%), metakognitif (23,52%) dan sosial (23,52%), (2) tidak ada perbedaan signifikan antara siswa yang berhasil dalam menggunakan strategi kognitif dan sosial sedangkan strategi metacognitive memiliki perbedaan signifikan. Ada implikasi untuk strategi-strategi belajar bahasa dalam keterampilan membaca.
