All four language skills are a child’s solution to the puzzle of learning. While all skills are crucial for language learning, this study accentuates learning strategies used in an instructed classroom setting by Year 4 pupils to enhance ESL listening skills. Six-language learning strategies namely memory, cognitive, compensation, meta cognitive, affective and social were proposed in this study. Thirty pupils from an intermediate class were chosen to participate in this study. A purposive sampling was done to select participants from a suburban area. A Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire and a checklist were used to collect data. The study procured that the most common strategy used by the participants with the highest mean score was the social strategy. The findings showed that participants tend to use social strategy through the interaction among peers in classroom. This research concludes with call for more research into this promising pedagogy.
