“…These meta-strategies are metacognitive, meta-affective, metamotivational, and metasocial strategies (Oxford, 2016). Her taxonomy was again open to a number of debates as some theorists (Dörnyei, 2005;Hajar, 2019) argued that success in language learning cannot be assessed through the frequency of strategy use alone.…”

The main objective of the study was to ascertain whether English as a Foreign Language learners with various levels of English language achievement differ significantly in applying foreign language learning strategies. We also aimed to explore strategy use frequency in connection with attitude toward English language learning. Data were collected from 1,653 lower secondary students in Hungary through a revised version of the previously developed online Self-Regulated Foreign Language Learning Strategy Questionnaire (SRFLLSQ) based on Oxford’s Strategic Self-Regulation (S2R) Model. The findings point to statistically significant differences in the frequency of English language strategy use among more and less proficient learners. Quantitative analyses also reported that, in spite of the students stated low or moderate levels of strategy use, it turned out as a statistically significant predictor of foreign language attitude and language achievement. The results draw attention to the relevance of strategy research in foreign language teaching as well as encourages strategy teaching within language instruction.

The specific processes, techniques, and actions that learners take to facilitate their language learning have been widely explored under the concept of language learning strategies (LLS); however, more exploration is needed about recent investigations in this area, as calls for new theorization of strategies research have emerged. This systematic literature review aimed at exploring the prevailing research methodologies and educational settings appertaining to LLS in English as foreign language (EFL) contexts. The study analyzed 42 articles published from 2017 to 2023 in journals in the field of social sciences in the Scopus and ERIC databases. The findings show how non-intervention quantitative approaches are predominant in LLS research, occasionally accompanied by qualitative data collection methods. Accordingly, most research has favored descriptive and correlational designs, identifying the relationships between the use of strategies and variables such as language proficiency, demographic aspects, motivation, and self-regulation. Grounded on the revision of existing evidence, this article advises future strategy-based research to focus on primary and secondary levels of education, strategy instruction, cultural aspects, and qualitative research designs.

“…The level of the compensation strategies shows that they are medium. Table 8 shows the students' gender analysis also has a p value that is greater than 0.05, indicating that there is no significant difference in the students' use of compensation strategies based on gender (Hajar, 2019). The p value for the compensation strategies provides an indication that there is a significant positive correlation between the students' use of compensation learning strategies with the SILL (Zaker, 2015).…”

Learning strategies and their usage arebrought under notice when studying about learners who study English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The learning strategies have been investigated for more than 35 years using various elicitation tools and methods. The objective of this study is to identify the learning practices of students who are learning their second languages at Foreign languages and Culture Faculty in State University in Gagavuzia in the academic year 2019-2020 concerning the use of learning strategy inventory.The survey plays a significant role in helping educators to check the learners' awareness of the subject under discussion. A quantitative study was conducted at Foreign languages Department in Komrat State University in Gagavuzia in the academic year 2019-2020 to examine and weigh the use of Strategy Inventory for Language Learning,(Oxford;1990). 581(182 female 399 male) students answered the questionnaire. After the questionnaire was completed, the common strategies of the group were identified as male and female under analysing gender. From the results of the study, it is clear that the foreign language learners both male and female, heavily rely on the learning strategies to boost their memory and mastery of vocabularies. However, the degree of use of the strategies significantly differs. The participants' attitudes towards the use of SILL learning strategies also vary based on the learning environment that they are exposed to. As such, SL educators should try to create a positive learning environment, especially for SL students, to enhance their learning capacities.
