The issue of language learning strategies has long been discussed in the education field. It is undeniably important to help instructors understand learners’ individual variances and, hence, define the impacts of learning strategies on learners’ language acquisition. With the uniqueness displayed in each learning strategy, the one-size-fits-all approach seems unreliable to cater to all learners’ needs but a preferred learning strategy does ensure learning satisfaction. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of individual characteristics, behaviour, and the environment on learning among undergraduates. The quantitative study was done with 122 respondents who answered a replicated survey from Wenden and Rubin (1987). Part one is the demographic profile. Section B has 19 items on Individual Characteristics, section C has 11 items on Behaviour and section D has 11 items on Environment. The findings demonstrated that individual characteristics, behaviour, and the environment show a positive impact on learning. Besides that, there is also a significant relationship between the three variables revealed in this study. Suggestions for future research are discussed in this study.
