This study had two purposes: (a) to obtain descriptive statistics of first-year students' learning motivation,their use of learning strategies, and their learning time at Hiroshima Jogakuin University; and(b) to specify factors that predict TOEIC scores of students with higher and lower levels of English language proficiency. For (a), a total of 280 first-year students participated in the survey, and descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, and maximum and minimum values ofeach variable were calculated for the four departments. For (b), 81 students who took the TOEIC ® Listening & Reading Test were examined. The results of the multiple regression analyses showed that, for students with lower English proficiency, use of the compensatory strategy was found to be a predictor for the TOEIC score, while for those with higher English proficiency, use of memoryrelated and cognitive strategies and learning time were revealed to be predictors for the TOEIC score. These results suggest a need to select learning strategies for teaching depending on the students' level of English proficiency.
