2. Gender
Chang (2007)
female learners showed significantly greater use of language learning strategies than
did male learners in three of six categories on the SILL: cognitive strategies,
metacognitive strategies, and social strategies
3. Experiences in studying
English
Khamkhien (2010)
Thai students who had additional experience in studying English in the
language centre and/or of going abroad for not more than four months used
Cognitive and Metacognitive categories significantly more frequently than
those who had no additional experience
Thai students experience in studying English has an effect on the choices of
language learning strategies, particularly in the use of Cognitive and
Metacognitive categories in learning English
4. Learning Style
Rossi-Le (1989)
the study demonstrated that an individual's background and learning style preference
influence the types of learning strategies that he/she will employ in acquiring a
second language
5. Motivation
Oxford (1994)
Research shows that motivation directly influences how often students use L2
learning strategies, how much input they receive in the language being learned, how
well they do on curriculum-related achievement tests, how high their general
proficiency level becomes and how long they persevere and maintain L2 skills after
language study is over.
6. Proficiency
Kalajahi, Nimehchisalem, Pourshahian (2012)
Turkish learners of English make use of LLS slightly greater than the other groups
In contrast, elementary learners make less use of LLS compared with the other groups
