Factors Influencing Language-Learning Strategy Use of English Learners in an ESL Context
Nguyen, Ngan; Godwyll, Francis
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v23 n4 p7-13 Fall 2010
This study employed the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), version 7.0 (ESL/EFL) developed by Oxford (1990) to examine differences in language-learning strategy use. It focused on how learner factors such as gender, age, nationality, and proficiency level influence the choice of language-learning strategies. The participants were 75 international students at Ohio University. The results showed that participants used social and metacognitive strategies at a high frequency level; meanwhile, affective and memory strategies were selected the least. Statistic significance was found in the choice of several strategies across the factors examined. Pedagogical implications were also discussed. (Contains 4 tables and 3 figures.)
