LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGIES OF TERTIARY EFL LEARNERS–A COMPARATIVE STUDY
LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGIES OF TERTIARY EFL LEARNERS–A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: The research is a comparative study of the analyses of language learning strategies used by students of the University of Tetovo (UT) and an earlier study (Dragoescu, 2014; Arslan & Dragoescu, 2012) conducted with students from Romania and Turkey. In their study, Dragoescu and Arslan compared learning strategies of tertiary English as a foreign language (EFL) employed by learners at Banat University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine “Michael I of Romania” from Timisoara (Romania) and the Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (Turkey). The project aimed at drawing a parallel between the language learning strategies preferred by students from the Romanian and Turkish universities. Also, it assessed the effectiveness of students' achieved levels of EFL in correspondence to the frequent learning skills which they have developed. The current study, likewise, has used the SILL (Strategy Inventory for Language Learning) developed by Oxford (1999) to examine the strategies preferred by learners from the UT by looking at similarities and differences between the study groups: learners from Romania, Macedonia and Turkey.
