This is my presentation about Five Factors that affect the Language Learning Strategies

2. Motivation
Socio-economy Status
Learning period
Ethnic and Culture
Age

3. 1. Ellis (1994) defined motivation as an effort that is made by the student as
a secondary language based on their desire to learn and comprehend it.
2. Gardner & Lambert (1972) divide motivation into two category,
integrative and universal. Integrative is when the student commit himself
towards the language and really enthusiast to learn the language and also
about the country where the language came from. Meanwhile universal
when the student learn the language widely and from all sort of the
aspect.
3. Oxford & Nyikos (1989)stated that in America, motivation is the most
important in order to learn a foreign language. Students with high
motivation in learning a foreign language will have a better achievement
compared to student with no motivation.

4. Parents’ economy also contribute towards students achievement in language.
According to Coleman (1996) and Jenks.
Parents’ academic achievement also plays a big role in their children academic.
Because parents with high academic background will put more effort in their
children’s academic welfare.
Mohd Nazali (1999) and his friends stated that there’s a significant relationship
between parents’ academic status and their children comprehension in English.
Parents’ economy status also plays a big role in students academic achievement in
language study. This is because with parents stability in their income will be able
to put more effort in their children’s education. They could support their tuition
fees and private class. According to research that was done by Mohd Nazali in
three different Malay school, family with stable economy will do more strategy in
Language Learning.

5. Research that was done stated that students’ who have a longer period of
study will have a better strategy in Learning a Language compared to a
new learner. According to Ehmran (1990), he had done a research on
Students and teachers at US Foreign Service Institute, students who have a
longer period of Language Learning will have more strategy in learning a
new language compared to student with shorter period of study.
This shows that period of learning also plays a role for students’
comprehension in Language studies.
Chamot and his friends stated that when the Language studies increase
then the cognitive strategy in mind will lessen meanwhile the
metacognitive strategy in a person increase.

6. Observed stated that students from different ethnic will use a
different strategy in learning new language. Some students will
be more open in learning new language when they were
exposed in environment with people who are free to speak their
thoughts and mind.
Some students are vice versa because of their culture.
Research by Liu & Littlewood also stated that an individual in
different ethnics and culture have different pattern of language
learning compared to other culture. In fact, Asian students are
more shy and not that outspoken when the live in big lively city
like America.

7. According to Lightbown & Spada, one of a new scenario is when parents
that move to a new country with a different language, their children are
able to speak the new native language fluently. This shows that age also
plays a big aspect for their children’s language learning.
Children, from a very young age have a potential to absorb new language
compared to the adults
According to Graham (1997), It was a bit difficult to detest the students’
language development based on their age. However, the adults learner
have more contextual knowledge compared to ten year old student.
