Abstract

Language learning strategies are methods that help users improve their English proficiency. We conducted a survey of 3012 rural students to assess their awareness of communication strategies in English. The survey revealed that students from rural areas in Telangana struggle with English proficiency, which affects their professional performance. Previous research has shown a link between language learning strategies and proficiency. Therefore, it is important to investigate the strategies used by these students and create an intervention program to teach them language learning strategies explicitly. The study suggests incorporating specific strategies into the undergraduate English language curriculum to enhance proficiency in professional settings.
