Quantitative research design was used descriptively in which participants were made up of ninety eight students and used pronunciation strategies questionnaire based on Oxford (1990) and made small adjustment adapted by Akyol (2013) as the main instrument. It was revealed that students mostly used Cognitive strategies which shown by percentage 40%, whereas memory strategies was minimally practiced which contribute only 4% of the participants. Thus, students’ pronunciation learning strategies reflects their ability to have self-learning in imitating with practice naturalistically.
