The findings of this study showed that learning strategies has the
contributed the development of students’ comprehension and learning the
language but there is almost no contribution on students’ personality. In other
words there is no enough evidence to conclude that the students’ personality
influences the students learning strategies on their English achievement. Moreover
the students’ learning strategies give the contribution to the students’ English
achievement.
