1. GENDER DIFFERENCES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGY USE Presenter: Nguyen Thu Hien Cao Thuy Hong VIETNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HANOI UNIVERSITY OF LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
15. Gender differences in second language learning strategies There are significant differences between male and female students’ use of LLS with females using those more frequently. Green & Oxford (1995), Lan & Oxford (2003), Chang, Liu & Lee (2007), etc . Young and Oxford’s (1997) study on the strategies used by native English-speaking learners of Spanish found no significant differences between males and females in their use of LLS. Tercanlioglu (2004) in a quantitative data analysis on gender differences in language learning strategies used by foreign language learners in a Turkish University, report significant gender differences, favouring males in students’ strategy use.
