2. Gender
• Females apply language learning strategies
more often than the males (Green & Oxford,
1995; Gu 2002; Goh & Kwah, 1997)
• Metacognitive and Social strategies are used
the most while Memory strategy is used the
least by females. Males use Metacognitive and
Compensation strategies the most while
Affective strategies the least. (Hong-Nam and
Leavell, 2006)
3. Proficiency Level
• Learners with distinctive dialect capability receive
diverse examples and frequencies of LLS (Oxford
& Burry-Stock, 1995).
• Turkish learners of English make utilization of LLS
marginally more prominent than alternate
gatherings.(Kalajahi, Nimehchisalem &
Pourshahian,2012)
• Capable understudies had a tendency to utilize
more dialect learning methods(Oxford & Nyikos
1989)
4. Motivation
• A vital variable that influences LLS (Oxford &
Nyikos, 1989).
• More roused learners, utilize more systems, all
the more every now and again. (McIntyre &
Noels, 1997).
• Number of learning systems partners with
level of inspiration (Chang & Huang, 1999).
5. Age
• Young children utilize methods in an errand
particular way while more established kids and
grown-ups use more generalized techniques.
(Ellis 1994).
• Young children use simple learning strategies
while older learners’ strategies are sophisticated
and complex.
• Mature students apply affective strategies
because they are conscious of the learning
process.
6. Learning Styles
• Understudies with distinctive learning styles
regularly pick procedures that reflect their
style inclination (Green & Oxford 1995).
• Learning techniques don't work without
anyone else present yet are specifically
attached to the learner's underlying styles and
other identity related variables in the learner
(Brown 2000 as cited in Cohen 1998).
7. • Outgoing people show solid inclination for
social systems; self observers utilize more
metacognitive methodologies all the more
regularly (Ehrman & Oxford, 1990).
