Five factors that affect language learning strategies are discussed: motivation, age, language proficiency, learning style, and cultural background. Highly motivated learners use more strategies than less motivated learners. Younger learners prefer task-specific strategies while older learners prefer generalized strategies. Lower proficiency learners adopt more strategies than higher proficiency learners. Learning styles also influence strategy use, with extroverts preferring social strategies and introverts preferring metacognitive strategies. Cultural background also impacts strategy use, with different cultural groups employing specific strategies at different frequencies.
