Abstract

English, as the most frequently spoken second language, and sometimes referred to as the global lingua franca, acts as a bridge for communication across cultures and nations. Learning English is a strong tool that allows people to fully participate in the global society by encouraging understanding, collaboration, and personal growth. This descriptive-comparative paper analyzed the motivation, learning styles, and learning strategies of first year college students from public higher education institutions (HEIs) in Sulu, Philippines. Participants were purposively sampled (n=200) to participate in the study. Findings indicated that first year college students in the province were integratively motivated to learn the English language. They particularly engaged in psychological and sociological learning styles through speaking to fluent English speakers, understanding emotional cues, reflection, and self-assessment. They engage in metacognitive (planning, organizing thoughts) and cognitive (assessment, analysis) to learn and understand English. Educators should adopt a holistic approach to teaching English, one that motivates students, respects their individual learning styles, and equips them with effective learning strategies. Such an approach could likely lead to more effective and meaningful language learning experiences, which could improve students' proficiency and confidence in using English.
