Abstract
This study aims to investigate what strategies are employed by university students in
Turkey learning Turkish as a foreign language, and also determine if these strategies
differ depending on learner factors such as gender, proficiency level and importance
attached to become proficient in Turkish language. The data for the study gathered
from the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL, Version 5.1) and followup
interviews conducted on 130 university students taking Turkish as a foregin
language courses in a non-profit foundation university in Ankara. The results
revealed that students use language learning strategies with medium levelof
frequency (mean equals to 3.3 out of 5.0). Students preferred to use compensation
and social strategies most. Affective strategies such as meditation and keeping a
language diary, on the other hand, were the least preferred strategies by students.
Moreover, the results showed that language learning strategy use differed depending
on gender, proficiency level and importance attached to become proficient in Turkish
language.
