Abstract

This study aimed to explore the most influential language learning strategies used by a Spelling Bee competition winner in the English Youth Competition 2022. Framed by Oxford’s (1990) classification of language learning strategies and using a narrative inquiry approach, the study focused on how selected strategies supported the participant’s vocabulary development. Data were collected through an in-depth interview and analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that although various strategies were applied, three were perceived as the most effective: memory, cognitive, and social strategies. Memory strategies were used through dictionary-based learning, storytelling, and visual cues. Cognitive strategies were reflected in daily English interaction within an immersive program, while social strategies involved consistent vocabulary practice with a peer. These strategies worked in combination and contributed significantly to the participant’s language acquisition and competition performance. The study suggests that the purposeful and consistent application of language learning strategies can enhance learners’ vocabulary mastery and language confidence in both academic and competitive settings.

Additional Information: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi strategi pembelajaran bahasa yang paling berpengaruh yang digunakan oleh pemenang lomba Spelling Bee dalam English Youth Competition 2022. Dengan mengacu pada klasifikasi strategi pembelajaran bahasa oleh Oxford (1990) dan menggunakan pendekatan narrative inquiry, penelitian ini berfokus pada bagaimana strategi-strategi tertentu mendukung pengembangan kosakata partisipan. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan dianalisis secara tematik. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun berbagai strategi digunakan, ada tiga strategi yang dianggap paling efektif: strategi memori, strategi kognitif, dan strategi sosial. Strategi memori diterapkan melalui pembelajaran berbasis kamus, penceritaan, dan penggunaan isyarat visual. Strategi kognitif tercermin dalam interaksi berbahasa Inggris sehari-hari melalui program imersi, sementara strategi sosial melibatkan latihan kosakata secara konsisten bersama teman sebaya. Strategi-strategi ini saling melengkapi dan berkontribusi secara signifikan terhadap perolehan bahasa serta performa peserta dalam kompetisi. Penelitian ini menyarankan bahwa penerapan strategi pembelajaran bahasa yang terencana dan konsisten dapat meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata dan kepercayaan diri berbahasa dalam konteks akademik maupun kompetitif.
