Abstract
This research aimed to find out 1) the language learning strategy used by students with high and low state self-esteem, 2) the language learning strategy used by students with high and low score in reading, and 3) the relationship or the correlation between self-esteem and reading achievement of students of EFL country. The sample of this research was taken from the students of Luckizzy.co English course. There were 11 students of TOEFL class. Reading test was taken from TOEFL test of reading section, state self-esteem questionnaire was adapted from Heatherton & Polivy (1991) and language learning strategy in reading questionnaire from Setiyadi (2011) were used. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and comparison. The results showed that the students who have high and low state self-esteem used cognitive language learning strategy in reading test, the students who have high and low score in reading also used cognitive language learning strategy in reading test, the relationship between self-esteem and students’ reading achievement also showed the insignificant relationship. So, most of students used the cognitive language learning strategy in reading test whether they have high or low self-esteem and whether they have high and low score. In improving students’ reading achievement, self-esteem cannot be one aspect that should be considered because someone who has high selfesteem cannot be guaranteed that he or she could do the reading test well. The further research may examine the other skill besides reading, it can be speaking where the students need more self-respect and self confidence in uttering something.
