Learning strategies of learners of English as a foreign language
The aim of the present research is to investigate the learning strategies which are used for the acquisition of English by graduate students. This research encompasses the strategies which are used during the acquisition process in general as well as the strategies used for the acquisition of specific areas of the foreign language. Before carrying out the investigation proper, we shall look at the students' previous learning experience of English as well as their beliefs about the foreign language itself and the leaning process in general. Furthermore, in order to determine the extent to which these strategies could have been the result of previous teaching, we have included an investigation of their teachers' background and teaching practices. Our study differs from the ones which have been carried out so far in this field in many respects. First, it is we believe, among the very few studies which investigates the strategies learners use for the acquisition of English as a Foreign language. In addition, unlike other studies, it will try to establish whether the strategies used are inherent to the learning process itself or are the result of previous learning experience. Since our concern is an applied one,
