English As a Second Language Learning Strategies and Teachability

This study explores English as Second Language Teaching and Learning strategies at the secondary level of education. The study hypothesizes that there is no correlation between English as Second Language teaching and learning strategies. A sample of 100 ESL learners of grade IX and X was drawn to administer Strategy Inventory Language Learning. A sample of 40 teachers, teaching English as Second Language was also chosen to seek their responses on SILL. Mean Average was calculated to draw comparison between teachability and learnablity. The study reveals that the balance is off-centered between language teaching and learning strategies. The study suggests that the teachers should develop language strategies cohesion and positive supportive learning environment to improve the learners' fluency and competence.
