The aim of the present study is to investigate self-regulating learning strategies used by a student to improve her language proficiency. This qualitative research was designed in descriptive phenomenological design that focuses on self-regulated learning experiences. Criterion sampling was used within the scope of purposive sampling methods to select the participant of this study. The data of the study were gathered through a semi-structured interview developed by the researcher. The researcher revealed the existence, meanings and relationships of words, themes or concepts in the interview content using the content analysis method. Results revealed that Tuana (the student) preferred some self-regulating learning strategies such as educational computer games, "exposure to a foreign language" by movies without subtitles. She compiled unknown words from movies and books and noted them in a notebook to memorize them later.
