Abstract

English is considered a foreign language in Indonesia. For Indonesians, especially students, English is often a scary ghost because it is a foreign language. This study aims to search factors influencing students in acquiring English language and to decide the strategies used by students in acquiring English language. This study employs a qualitative methodology. The research design used in this study is narrative inquiry with participants from 3 English language students from a university in Pekalongan, consisting of male and female aged around 18-25 years old. The researcher used interviews to obtain data. The data analysis technique used in this research is from Miles, Huberman, & Saldana. The contribution of this study is to find out the factors and learning strategies in English language acquisition. The findings show that during acquiring English, students face internal factors such as motivation, age, and learning strategies. There are also external factors that they encounter such as formal presentation, first language, and environment. In addition, students also use learning strategies which are cognitive methods, metacognitive methods, and social and emotional methods. And the role of these factors and learning strategies on English language acquisition is that students find a way that suits them for English language acquisition, students can find solutions to the problems they face during the process, and this improves students' ability to communicate.
