- Abstract
The significance of language learning strategies has affected many researchers in English language learning environment in recent decades. Therefore, researchers have conducted several studies on this specific field. In this study, the application of language learning strategies used by repeating and non-repeating English preparatory school students based on the language levels were examined. The strategies provided by Oxford (1990) such as memory, cognitive, compensation, meta-cognitive, affective, and social language learning strategies were taken into consideration. In order to collect data, the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL; Oxford, 1990) was administered to three different student groups as one-time repeating students at elementary level, two-and-more-times repeating students at elementary level, and non-repeating students at upper-intermediate level. One-way ANOVA was run in SPSS version 20.0 for MAC to analyze the data and to see whether there was any significant difference among language learning strategies used by repeating and non-repeating students. The findings of the study indicated that although there is not much significant difference among three students groups in terms of the usages of language learning strategies, the non-repeating students have more tendency in using the strategies than the other student groups as the onetime repeating students and the two-and-more times repeating students. There is no significant difference among student groups in terms of affective strategies (sig=.21, p<.05) and memory strategies (sig=.13, p<.05) while there are significant differences among groups in terms of the other four strategies.
