LLS is what learners DO to LEARN a language.
Language Learning Strategies (LLS) are plans and/or
actions that learners take to improve their process of
language learning. (Amin, 2000)
Language Learning Strategies

LLS are used by people so that they can learn
second/different language better.
Learning Styles can be taught. (according to need
Learning Strategies cannot be taught but can be use
in LLS.

Hence, to be an excellent LLS student, we must know the factor that affecting the LLS . There are 5 common factors that are easy to be detected and that are:
1. Motivation2. Gender3. Learning Styles4. Cultural Background5. Religion and Worship

1. MOTIVATION
Is one of the most wanted thing for every person,
Keep someone to keep moving forward,
Be the light in one’s life to guide them to do
something,
![Page 6: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Motivation is regarded as the key to success in
language learning (Dornyei 1990; Gardner 1985;
Nunan 1999)
An experiment carried out by
Oxford and Nyikos (1989) on 1200
foreign language learners in USA shows that
motivation is the most affective factor in LLS.
![Page 7: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Gardner and Lambert (1972) found that the attitude and
motivation of students of a second language has a
significant influence on language learning.
![Page 8: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. GENDER
In a research, it is stated that girls have a faster
verbal skills and mature earlier than most boys do.
(Maccoby and Jacklin, 1974)
![Page 9: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• In an experiment conducted by Cross (1983),
it is said that the skills in LLS also have
connection to the gender of the teacher itself.
For example, if the language
teacher is a woman, she will be
taken as a role model for the girls
student but not for the boys
student.
![Page 10: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Oxford and Nyikos (1989) made a conclusion that gender
differences have great and significant influence on the LLS
students. They found out that girls are more often to use the
LLS than boys do.
Females have consistently been reported as using LLSs more
frequently than males (Politzer, 1983; Hashim and Salih, 1994;
Sy, 1994;Wharton, 2000).
![Page 11: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. LEARNING STYLES
An individual’s learning style
preferences influence the
type of LLSs they use.
(Ehrman andOxford, 1990;
Rossi-Le, 1995; among
others)
![Page 12: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is because people are different and have different
skills in learning new language.
Thus, they need a different styles to learn and have to
find which styles they prefer so that they can apply it in
learning process.
![Page 13: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Extroverts, for example,
show a strong preference
for social strategies, while
introverts use
metacognitivae strategies
more frequently (Ehrman
and Oxford, 1990)
![Page 14: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A simple observation shows that different students of
ethics, culture and nationality DO NOT have the same way
of learning (Pennycook 1997; Pierson 1996)
4. CULTURAL BACKGROUND
![Page 15: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bedell (1993) found
that different
cultural groups use
particular kinds of
strategies at
different levels of
frequency (cited in
Oxford et al., 1995)
![Page 16: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Asian students tend to prefer rote memorisation and rule-
oriented strategies (Politzer & McGroarty, 1985).
For instance, Taiwanese students seem far more
structured, analytical, memory-based, and
metacognitively oriented than other groups (Oxford,
1994).
![Page 17: 5 factors affecting language learning strategies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062710/55a0d1cd1a28ab40108b46c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
LLS theory also states that the language is part of
culture and culture is part of the language.

5. RELIGION AND WORSHIP
The influence of religion and religious views form the
language-learning domain, which is capable of
producing treatments and special thoughts to
facilitate language learning.
For example, the position of Latin as the language of
God to the people Greek , or Sanskrit as the language
of the Veda scriptures to the Hindu religion .

One of the advices towards the human:

In Malaysia, we can see the unique of Arabic language in
the Islam believers.
They recite prayers and read Al-Quran in Arabic language,
mostly were taught ever since they were a child.
