THIS THESIS INVESTIGATES THE LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGIES (LLS) USED BY ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (EFL) NURSING STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN MACAO AND THE EFFECTIVENESS RELATED TO STUDENTS\u2019 LEARNING OUTCOMES BY STRATEGY INSTRUCTION (SI). TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO LITERATURE IN THE AREA OF SI AMONG THE MACAO CHINESE EFL HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS ON TEACHING ALL LLS GROUPS, AND ON FOUR MAIN ENGLISH SKILLS TO LOOK AT ITS EFFECTS ON LEARNING PROCESSES AND OUTCOMES AT THE SAME TIME, AND THIS STUDY STARTS TO FILL THE GAP.\u00a0 THE RESEARCH USES AN EMBEDDED MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN IN PHASE ONE AND AN EMBEDDED MIXED METHODS QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN IN PHASE TWO. PHASE ONE AIMED TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS\u2019 LLS USE. THE FINDINGS REVEALED THAT STUDENTS\u2019 COGNITIVE, METACOGNITIVE AND COMPENSATORY STRATEGIES WERE USED MORE THAN AFFECTIVE, MEMORY-RELATED AND SOCIAL STRATEGIES, AND OVERALL THEY USED A MEDIUM TO LOW LEVEL OF LLS. IN PHASE TWO, THE EFFECTS OF SI ON STUDENTS\u2019 CHANGES OF LLS USE, THEIR PROFICIENCY AND ENGLISH LEARNING PROCESSES WERE IDENTIFIED. AFTER SI, STUDENTS USED LLS BOTH MORE WIDELY AND FREQUENTLY IN ALL FOUR MAIN ENGLISH SKILLS. MOST STUDENTS\u2019 MOTIVATION AND SELF-CONFIDENCE WERE ENHANCED. AFTER SI THE AFFECTIVE GROUP OF STRATEGIES IN THE TREATMENT GROUP STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED, WITH A MODERATE EFFECT SIZE, FROM THAT OF THE COMPARISON GROUP. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WIDELY USED STRATEGY INVENTORY FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING QUESTIONNAIRES BY OXFORD (1989C) HAD LIMITED STATISTICAL POWER AND SOME CONCEPTUAL CONFUSION. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR POLICY AND PRACTICE OF EFL INSTRUCTION<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-423967","tnc_col_19631_item","type-tnc_col_19631_item","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tnc_tax_19912-education","tnc_tax_19818-english","tnc_tax_19765-saidu-muhammad-bashir","tnc_tax_19765-tagulao-karen-arano","tnc_tax_19716-school-of-education","tnc_tax_19659-master-thesis","tnc_tax_19651-doctoral"],"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":[],"comment_info":0,"featured_img":false,"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/author\/emilychan\/","display_name":"emily chan"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 5 \u5929 ago","modified":"Updated 2 \u5929 ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on 21 8 \u6708, 2026","modified":"Updated on 24 8 \u6708, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on 21 8 \u6708, 2026 12:32 \u4e0a\u5348","modified":"Updated on 24 8 \u6708, 2026 12:20 \u4e0b\u5348"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"tnc_tax_19912":{"linked":["EDUCATION<\/a>"],"unlinked":["EDUCATION<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19912","name":"PROGRAMME"},"tnc_tax_19818":{"linked":["ENGLISH<\/a>"],"unlinked":["ENGLISH<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19818","name":"LANGUAGE"},"tnc_tax_19765":{"linked":["SAIDU, MUHAMMAD BASHIR<\/a>","TAGULAO, KAREN ARANO<\/a>"],"unlinked":["SAIDU, MUHAMMAD BASHIR<\/span>","TAGULAO, KAREN ARANO<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19765","name":"SUPERVISOR(S)"},"tnc_tax_19716":{"linked":["SCHOOL OF EDUCATION<\/a>"],"unlinked":["SCHOOL OF EDUCATION<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19716","name":"FACULTY \/ RESEARCH UNIT"},"tnc_tax_19659":{"linked":["Thesis & Dissertation<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Thesis & Dissertation<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19659","name":"Document Type"},"tnc_tax_19651":{"linked":["DOCTORAL<\/a>"],"unlinked":["DOCTORAL<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19651","name":"DEGREE LEVEL"}},"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item\/423967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tnc_col_19631_item"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423967"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item\/423967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":433508,"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item\/423967\/revisions\/433508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
