Gender effect on the use of strategy
◦ Wharton (2000)
Females tend to be superior in verbal aptitude and social orientation and thus
tend to create more opportunities for interacting with other people than do
their male counterparts
◦ Ehrman and Oxford (1988: 260)
MOTIVATION
MOTIVATION
" A creative man is motivated by the
desire to achieve, not by the desire to
beat others.“
◦ Oxford and Nyikos (1989)
" A creative man is motivated by the
desire to achieve, not by the desire to
beat others.“
◦ (Ayn Rand)
Motivation affected the learner’s
choices of strategies the most strongly
of all the factors.
◦ Mochizuki (1999) and Wharton’s (2000)
ATTITUDE
Attitude plays an important role in LLS
Learners bring their
belief, goals, attitudes and decisions
to learning, and these influence how
they approach their learning.
◦ Gardner and Miller (2002)

charts

Auditory learners learn best by
hearing information

include a well-developed vocabulary
and an appreciation for words.

heard quite accurately
Kinesthetic Learner

bodies, activating their large or small
muscles

their legs when they sit
