Abstract

Yabancı dil öğrenme sürecinde yer alan öğrencilerin bu dili öğrenmelerini ve başarmalarını etkileyen unsurlar eğitimciler tarafından önemli bir konu olarak görülmektedir. Yabancı dil akademik başarısı yüksek olan ve dili işlevsel olarak kullanan öğrencilerin nasıl başarılı oldukları ve dili aktif olarak kullandıkları ile akademik başarısı düşük olan öğrencilerin başarısızlık nedenlerine ilişkin merak artmakta ve önemli bir konu olarak görülmektedir. Bu noktada başarılı olan öğrencilerin kendilerine özgü takip ettikleri yollar ve başarılarını etkileyen unsurlar göz ardı edilmemelidir. Öğrencilerin dil akademik başarılarını etkileyen faktörlerin başında dil öğrenme stratejileri gelmektedir. Dil öğrenme sürecinde yer alan öğrenciler bilinçli ya da bilinçsiz bir şekilde bu stratejileri tercih etmekte, farklı durumlarda kullanmakta ve farklı öğrenme görevlerine transfer etmektedirler. Ancak dil öğrenme stratejileri kişiye özgüdür. Başka bir ifade ile öğrenenlerin dil öğrenme sürecinde kullandıkları stratejiler kişiden kişiye değişmektedir. Dolayısıyla öğrenenlerin tercih ettikleri dil öğrenme stratejileri kendilerinin sahip oldukları çeşitli unsurlardan etkilenmektedir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada bireylerin dil öğrenme stratejilerini etkileyen unsurların geniş bir çeşitlilikte ele alınması amaçlanmaktadır.

Personal Factors Affecting the Usage of Language Learning Strategies

Abstract

The personal factors that affect students' learning and achievement in foreign language learning process are seen as an important issue by educators. Nowadays, curiosity about how some students have high academic achievement and how they use the language effectively and  actively is increasing. At this point, the paths of the successful students and the factors affecting their success should not be ignored. Language learning strategies are the main factors that affect the academic achievement of students. Students in the language learning process consciously or unconsciously prefer these strategies, use them in different situations and transfer them to different learning tasks. However, language learning strategies are individual. In other words, the strategies that learners use in language learning process vary from person to person. Therefore, the learner's preferred language learning strategies are influenced by various elements of their own. In this context, this study aims to address a wide variety of personal factors that affect individuals' language learning strategies. It is thought that the study will be useful in terms of revealing the general framework of theoretical studies about the factors that affect individuals' language learning strategy use preferences.
