This document discusses 5 key factors that affect language learning strategies: attitude, motivation, personality, learning style, and age. For attitude, it is important for teachers to facilitate learning rather than control students. They should accept mistakes and encourage exploration. Motivation can be integrative, from interest in the language's culture, or instrumental, for practical reasons. Personality impacts how students learn, such as extroverts preferring group work. Learning styles include behaviorist, cognitivist, and awareness-based approaches. Younger students often attain native-like pronunciation while older learners' accents may be influenced by their first language.
