“…And because such strategies link one item or concept in the target language to another, deep understanding is not required for their usage (Aslan, 2009). Grouping and representing sounds in memory are examples of this kind (Yilmaz, 2010). Even though memory strategies are essential, researchers have found that language learners rarely use them.…”

Gender's influence on education, especially on foreign language learning, cannot be denied. The current study investigates the effect of gender on English language learning among Omani higher education students. The results indicate that there are differences between males and females with regard to language learning strategies, language comprehension and language learning motivation. Additionally, a relatively large group of participants indicated that gender differences in English language learning cannot be attributed to social and cultural reasons as Omani society provides equal opportunities for both genders to learn English. Most of the study's findings are consistent with previous findings, lending further support to the idea that there are differences between males and females in language learning.

“…Moreover, Reid (1995) remarks that the area of learning styles and the difference between learning styles and strategies has often been complicated and unclear. Also, the relationship between the use of language learning strategies and some other variables such as gender, proficiency, age, and self-efficacy and other variables has been the focus of considerable body of research (Magogwe & Oliver, 2007;Salahshour, Sharifi, & Salahshour, 2013;Yılmaz, 2010) in recent years. Because of the scarcity of the research in language learning literature on the relationship between learning styles and language learning strategies, it is believed that further research would be of the great need.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the language learning strategies of freshman students and their learning styles. This study is a descriptive research and employs a relational screening model. Participants of the study were 328 freshman students majoring in different fields at Necmettin Erbakan University Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Education in Turkey. Data were collected via Turkish version of "Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (SILL)", originally developed by Oxford (1990) and adapted into Turkish by Cesur and Fer (2007) and "Big 16 Learning Modality Inventory" by Şimşek (2002). Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and the Pearson's correlation coefficient. The research results revealed that learning styles have a significant effect on language learning strategy use. The results and implications of the study are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.

“…Such finding could be due the reason that these students had some background in learning English as they were majoring in teaching English to other learners. Likewise, the study by Yilmaz (2010) also found that no significant differences were found on the use of strategies based on their university's averages for English major students in Turkey.…”

“…Other studies also indicated that no significant differences were found in the use of LLSs based on language proficiency (Kiram et al, 2015;Namwong, 2012;Seifoori & Yaghchi, 2015;Tezcan & Deneme, 2016;Yilmaz, 2010). For example, no significant differences were found in the use of LLSs between the successful and average 8th grade young Turkish learners of English as a foreign language from three private primary schools (Tezcan & Deneme, 2015).…”
