Gaining English language learning effectively has been discussed all years long. Similarly, Learners have various troubles outcomes in the learning process. Creating a joyful and comfortable situation must be considered by learners. Thus, the implementation of effective learning strategies is certainly necessary for English learners. This descriptive study has two purposes: first, to introduce the classification and characterization of learning strategies such as; memory, cognitive, metacognitive, compensation, social, and affective strategies that are used by learners in the classroom and second, it provides some questionnaires item based on Strategy of Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) version 5.0 that can be used to examine the frequency of students’ learning strategies in the learning process. The summary of this study explains and discusses the researchers’ point of view on the impact of learning outcomes by learning strategies used. Finally, utilizing appropriate learning strategies are certainly beneficial for both teachers and learners to achieve the learning target effectively.

Junior high school SATAP Sungai Bertam set KKM indonesian language subject class IX of 78 with the provisions of 100% complete, still very many students who have not reached completeness, the purpose of this research is to increase learning outcome in indonesian language subject in class IX. This research is a classroom action research conducted in two cycles with two learning meetings, which includes: planning, implementation, and reflection, 26 study subjects consisted of 12 males and 14 females, Data collection techniques used a written assessment, observations in the form of indicators of teacher and student success, the results showed that on the pre cycle of percentage of student learning outcomes that is 35%, with the highest 79, the lowerst 50, and the average 66,58, in the first cycle increased by a percentage 73%, with the highest 80, the lowerst 65, and the average 76,27, then in the second cycle is 100% complete with the highest 85, the lowest 80, and the average score 82,81. Based on these results, it can be concluded that inquiry learning model can improve the learning outcomes of grade IX students in indonesian languange subjects at Junior high school SATAP Sungai Bertam.

As the Bologna Process moves forward, changes in European systems of higher education are expected. The introduction of the ECTS focussing on the students’ achievements described in terms of the learning outcomes and competences acquired is one of the innovations. This process, encouraged by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, signifies a change in teaching focus, from an input model to an output one, which promotes self-assessment in a flexible curriculum, in this case adapted to student’s language profile. To illustrate this new approach in language learning, a pilot experience with Technical English mining engineering students is discussed, with special attention to learner reflection and self-assessment practices. Students’ progress in self-assessment, based on the introduction of learning outcomes in specific language courses, is analysed to conclude that personal engagement and clear purpose -specified in terms of learning outcomes- seem to have become relevant components to student's self-assessment practice.

Media Development E-Learning in Computing I course at the university.This study aims to acquire e-learning instructional media are valid for self-study student in the course of computing I. Population in the study were all students of third semester of mathematics education IKIP PGRI Semarang. This study is a research and development. In media studies e-learning development is carried out with 4 (four) stages, namely (a) a preliminary analysis, (b) Design, (c) Evaluation, (d) Revised. Processing the data using descriptive qualitative data analysis techniques. Corresponding results of questionnaires about the development of e-learning in the obtained value sig = 0.00 and R = 0,541, which means it affects the motivation for 54.1% of the student learning outcomes. Gained an average of better learning outcomes between the experimental class at 84.27 compared with 80.05 for the control class. The results obtained from the e-learning instructional media are valid for independent study students on computing courses I according to developmental theory Akker and student learning outcomes.

Isabelli-García, Bown, Plew & Dewey (forthcoming) presented the ‘state of the art’ in research on language learning abroad. Beginning with Carroll's (1967) claim that ‘time spent abroad is one of the most potent variables’ predicting second language (L2) abilities (p. 137), the scope of study-abroad research has grown multifold in guiding theoretical frameworks, empirical methods, and objects of examination. A half-century of work surveyed in Isabelli-García et al.’s review reveals diverse goals of investigation, ranging from studies focusing on documenting learning outcomes, to studies aiming to unveil the process and nature of learning in a study-abroad context.

One way to promote autonomy in the second language can be through the use of Self-access Centres (SACs). These are spaces for students to engage in activities such as self-study or communication with other learners, or native-speakers of the target language. However, merely having these spaces available does not guarantee that students will use the facility effectively, or even attend at all, so a degree of learner motivation linked with visiting the SAC would be necessary. Deci and Ryan’s (1985) Self-Determination Theory (SDT) has been used as the base for numerous studies in second language learning, including those in Japan. Proponents claim SDT is both universal and can be measured on different levels, which are global, situational and state. The authors sought to validate a measure of four subscales of SDT (Intrinsic Motivation, Identified Regulation, Introjected Regulation and External Regulation) written for this study at the situational level among undergraduates using an SAC at a Japanese University (n = 83). The rationale for items at this level comes from the field of psychology (Vallerand & Ratelle, 2002) and a study of second language constructs (Robson, 2016). A factor analysis confirmed four reliable factors, as hypothesized. Further, simplex correlations between the subconstructs somewhat confirms the underlying continuum posited by SDT researchers. These results may lead to a body of work that validates SDT theory in second language learning.

The environment is a factor that greatly influences the learning process, especially learning Indonesian. A good environment will have a good impact on learning outcomes. Learning Indonesian is one of the compulsory subjects at the elementary to tertiary education levels. Environmentally based Indonesian language learning is held with a good aim, namely increasing students' interest in learning. When students are invited to study with the surrounding environment, it means that students will also learn how to communicate properly and correctly with the environment, think creatively, and find problems and solve problems around them.
