ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the learning strategies of successful students in an online
intermediate grammar class. The research participants were all English as Foreign Language
(EFL) students, batches 2019 and 2020, 2021, who got an A or AB in intermediate grammar
class at the English Language Education Program (ELEP), Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana
(UKSW). Open-ended questionnaires and interviews were used as the instruments to collect the
data. In the questionnaire, 49 participants were asked to respond to several statements. At the
same time, in the interview process, the researcher involved 6 participants to clarify their
responses to the questionnaire. The data analysis revealed three grammar learning strategies that
could make students successful in their grammar class: (1) determining difficult grammatical
structures and trying to learn the difficulty; (2) paying attention to grammatical structures when
translating sentences; and (3) taking notes when the teacher explains a new grammatical
structure.
Keywords: learning strategies, intermediate grammar, English as a Foreign Language students
