Malay language literature is an essential component in language teaching and learning, and thus, the literature component is increasingly emphasized as an important subject in Malaysian secondary schools. Therefore, research indicates the need to determine students’ strategies for learning the Malay literature. This research aims to examine the strategies preferred by secondary school students in learning the Malay literature from environmental, psychological, sociological, and practical perspectives. The study employed a survey method in which a self-developed questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 160 fourth-year students in the literature from selected secondary schools in Terengganu, Malaysia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics comprising the mean and standard deviation via the SPSS software Version 21. The findings revealed that the students prefer to learn the Malay literature while sitting on a chair or table and require a quiet, well-lighted, and equipped environment.
