Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate English language learning strategies used by Thai EFL students enrolled at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna Tak. It also explores whether or not a difference exists between female and male students in the use of English language learning strategies. Two hundred and thirty-three students in the second semester of academic year 2015 were selected in the study. The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) adapted from Oxford (1990) was employed as a research tool in order to measure the use of six types of strategies which consist of memory, cognitive, compensatory, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. The Statistic Package for the Social Science (SPSS) program was used to analyze all scores from SILL questionnaire. The results revealed that the overall use of English language learning strategies by the students was at the moderate level. The most frequent strategy use was metacognitive strategies, followed by memory and social strategies. The least frequent strategy use was cognitive strategies. Furthermore, it was revealed that there is no statistically significant difference in the overall use of English language learning strategies between male and female students. Both male and female students preferred to use metacognitive strategy most frequently, but cognitive strategy least frequently. The findings of this study would be beneficial for teachers to develop effective English teaching and to provide students with successful English language learning
