This document discusses factors that affect language learning strategy usage. It identifies five main factors: age, motivation, gender, experience, and learning style. Regarding age, it notes that adults tend to use more strategies than children or high school students. Motivation is important for language learning, as higher motivation leads to more study. Gender differences in strategy usage are debated, though some studies found females use more strategies. Experience is also important, as experienced learners tend to rely on strategies they are comfortable with. Finally, an individual's learning style, such as a preference for group work vs individual study, influences which strategies they find most effective.

2. AGE
- Age does gives effect on the LLS usage.
- A children for example, will use the least LLS if to be
compared with high school students and adults.
- A study by White (1993) shows that adults use more
strategies in their adulthood compares to their
childhood. For example, adults from the age of 30 and
above.
To sum up, age does affect the usage of LLS among
learners. The older they are, the more strategies used
and practiced.

3. MOTIVATION
- Motivation is important as it is a part of support to an
individual to learn something, and in this case, to the
language learners.
- The higher motivation gained by an individual, the
higher the potential for him or her to study the
language.
- Motivation can be in different forms, which is
psychologically motivated or by presents or rewards.
- One can be highly motivated by himself or herself,
and also by the surroundings.

4. GENDER
- Males and females show different level in the usage
of LLS.
- Majority of the people say that females use more LLS
than males.
- This is proven with a study by Ehrman and Oxford
(1998).
- However, the difference in the LLS usage between
males and females are not that clear as in some parts,
it depends more on other factors rather than gender.
- Males are said to use more LLS too as said by Tran
(1990).
- The different results of study shows that gender is
still a factor in the LLS usage, but it is slightly
debatable.

5. EXPERIENCE
EXPERIENCE
- Experience is one of the most important factor in LLS
usage.
- How long someone learns a particular language
determines how often LLS is used.
- Since they are experienced learners, they are more
likely to stick only to certain strategies that they are
comfortable with.
- This is proved by a study that is done by Purdie and
Oliver (1990), which said that if the learners have been
learning for a long time, they are more likely to use only
memory and cognitive strategies.
-Thus, we can say that an experienced learner are better
in choosing their learning strategy than new learners.
They use less strategies, but they do make sure that the y
conquer the strategies at their best.

6. LEARNING STYLE
- Another major factor in the LLS usage is the learners
learning style.
- For example if the learner is comfortable getting
engaged with the surroundings by communicating and
sharing ideas, they might be using the strategies that
require connection to the society.
- Meanwhile if in the case of an individual learner, he or
she might be comfortable using the memory strategy as
it does not require any interaction with the surroundings.
- Rossi-Le proved that people who works in group, when
they use interactive strategies, they are most likely to
become very successful learners.
- As a conclusion, a person's learning style does
indicate the learning strategy. The important thing is that
the learner him or herself must know their own capability
in accepting knowledge through those strategies.
