Subject: Final Version: Citing Resources: Factors Affecting Second Language Learning

Learning style is an important factor in the process of second language acquisition, along with gender, age, nationality or ethnicity, beliefs, previous educational, cultural experiences, learning goals and the most important one, students studying strategies.
Additionally, it is likely that different kinds of learners might benefit from different modes of their own second language studying strategy. Research supports the effectiveness of using L2 learning strategies and has shown that successful language learners often use strategies in an orchestrated fashion. Use of appropriate language learning strategies often results in improved proficiency or achievement overall or in specific skill areas (Thompson & Rubin, 1993). Successful language learners tend to select strategies that work well together in a highly orchestrated way, tailored to the requirements of the language task (Chamot & Kupper, 1989). According to O'Malley & Chamot (1990), well tailored combinations as cognitive (e.g., translating, analyzing) and metacognitive (e.g., planning, organizing) strategies are often used together, supporting each other. These learners can easily explain the strategies they use and why they employ them (O'Malley & Chamot, 1990).
