Abstract

Learning strategy research has typically focused on the frequency of strategy types. It can be assumed, however, that it is the quality of strategy use rather than its quantity which influences learning processes and outcomes in the first place. Hence, the present study adopts a micro-analytic approach to assessing the adequacy of strategy use. Results of recent reanalyses of the video data show that this approach is highly appropriate. Adequacy of strategies used by students of English as a foreign language in a self-regulated learning environment turned out to have a significant effect on achievement when controlled for other predictors which exceeds the majority of findings in this research line. Characteristics of students using strategies non-adequately have been identified.
