Pineda, Jorge E.
GIST Education and Learning Research Journal, v4 p94-106 Nov 2010
This is a small scale, inductive, ethnographic study whose objective is to explore the language learning strategies used by the students of different languages at a language program at the university level. Students of English, French, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and German participate in the study. Three instruments are used to gather data: an open-ended questionnaire, a series of lesson observations, and a semi-structured interview. The students report the use of several strategies for the learning of grammar, reading, speaking, writing, and listening.
