The main purpose of the present article is to estimate academic achievement and gender peer effects on social comparisons and self-regulated learning behaviors in a Taiwanese EFL context. The participating students were 50 non-English-major freshmen studying in Central Taiwan. Analyses of the data reveal the following findings. First, female students preferred or felt more comfortable making social comparisons with other female students, and they applied more self-regulated learning strategies. Second, male students had a stronger drive to make social comparisons, and they would prepare harder over time for the tests. Third, students with relatively low ability tended toward upward comparison and tended to give up or only study the easy parts.

The purpose of this research paper is to look into the current situation of using learning strategies and the key factors that influence English learning strategies of tertiary students who major in economics at Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City. On the basis of Oxford’s (1990) theory on language learning strategies, the study conducted a questionnaire survey with the participation of 300 students. The results show that economics-majored students use English learning strategies at a relatively high frequency, with the metacognitive strategies group having the highest frequency; the groups of affective strategies and compensation strategies have the lowest frequency of use. It also draws a conlusion that individual factors such as gender, grade level, and major do not appear to have a significant impact on students' use of English learning strategies. There are no significant differences between male and female students, between students of all grades, and between students of different majors in the frequency of using English learning strategies.

Learning Platforms

Instructors may design and implement formative assessments on technology-enhanced platforms (e.g., online quizzes) with the intention of encouraging the use of effective learning strategies like active retrieval of information and spaced practice among their students. However, when students interact with unsupervised technology-enhanced learning platforms, instructors are often unaware of students’ actual use of the learning tools with respect to the pedagogical design. In this study, we designed and extracted five variables from the Canvas quiz-log data, which can provide insights into students’ learning behaviors. Anchoring our conceptual basis on the ‘influential conversational framework’, we find that learning analytics (LA) can provide instructors with critical information related to students’ learning behaviors, thereby supporting instructors’ inquiry into student learning in unsupervised technology-enhanced platforms. Our findings suggest that the information that LA provides may enable instructors to provide meaningful feedback to learners and improve the existing learning designs.

Purpose Prior research has highlighted gender differences in academic motivational attributes, and how these predict academic achievement for each gender; however, a vast amount of inconsistency exists amongst such literature. The purpose of this paper is to examine the predictive value of academic motivation (achievement goal, leaning goal, performance goal (PG), self-efficacy (SE), and active learning strategies (ALS)) and study time in explaining academic achievement amongst male and female students. Design/methodology/approach Cross-sectional survey design was applied. Participants were sampled opportunistically, and consisted of final year undergraduate students, including both males (n=126) and females (n=189) attending various courses at a UK university. Findings A multiple regression analysis carried out for each gender revealed that study time, ALS, PG, and SE were significant predictors of achievement for males, whereas SE was the only significant predictor of achievement for females. Originality/value These findings offer practical implications in terms of methods employed by educators to enhance academic achievement. Such implications highlight the importance of the development of SE in both genders and propose methods in which universities can enhance motivation in male and female students. Recommendations for future research are also made.

Abstract Language Learning Strategies (LLSs) as a pluralistic and pervasive strategic system (Yan & Zha, 2011, p. 1) always attaches great importance of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Numerous researchers have been working on this topic since the 1970s. Also, since students differ from person to person in their adoption of learning strategies and the research on differences in individuals develops, the topic of gender differentiation has arisen in the LLSs. Research related to gender and LLSs has been brought to the forefront in the last three decades, and many studies have found that gender can have a significant impact on LLSs (Zafar, 2012, p. 640). In China, most of the previous studies in learning strategies have paid attention to age, motivation, aptitude, educational level, good language learners, etc. But not much has been done in terms of the perspective of gender. Also, as one of the special economic zones in China, researchers may neglect the importance of Macau for most of them have focused more on Hong Kong. This paper then investigated the use of LLSs by a group of ESL learners in a Macau public university. It emphasized the gender differences and aimed to find out how gender affected the use of LLSs. Quantitative research method was adopted in this paper. A total of 188 ESL learners (M = 92, F = 96) participated in this study. The instrument Oxford’s 50-item Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire was used. In consideration of their English proficiency levels, Liao’s (2002) Chinese version of the SILL questionnaire was adopted so that it was easier for students to understand. Moreover, the statistical software SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis. The major findings were that gender as a variable affected students’ strategy use with female students (`X = 3.26) more frequently used strategies than male students (`X = 3.22), and they both used metacognitive strategies the most (M:`X = 3.41; F: `X = 3.49) and memory strategies the least (M:`X = 3.01; F: `X = 3.11). In terms of gender and frequency of LLSs use, metacognitive strategies showed the strongest correlation (r = .88) and memory strategies showed the weakest (r = .64). To sum up, for students, they can learn English more efficiently and effectively with the guidance of proper learning strategies. And students with gender differentiation will use more useful strategies when learning a foreign language; For teachers, they can teach students with their actual needs with the help of learning strategies.

This study sought to investigate the interplay between grammar strategies employed by intermediate EFL learner and their performance on a grammar test. To undertake the study, eighty homogenized intermediate students, comprising 37 males and 29 females, took part in the study. Having been homogenized via quick placement test (QPT), the participants were asked to respond to Oxford’s (1990) grammar learning strategies questionnaire (hereafter, GLSQ). Next, the participants were asked to take a grammar test. The findings revealed a significant relationship among six subscales of GLSs and EFL learners’ performance on the grammar test. In addition, the results indicated a significant difference between male and female students in term of their performance on the grammar test. More precisely, female students outperformed the male counterpart as far as their performance on grammar test was concerned. In addition, the results attested that cognitive strategy and compensation learning strategy were the most and the least strategy types employed by the participants. The findings have pedagogical implication for both English as a foreign or second language.

This study aimed at identifying the effect of a training program in developing the use of learning English language strategies among a sample of the Hashemite University students, and the differences in using these strategies due to gender and the type of group (experimental and control groups). The study sample consisted of 76 male and female students from the Department of English Language, divided into two groups (an experimental group of 34 male and female students and a control group of 42 male and female students). To achieve the aims of the study, Oxford's language learning strategies scale was used. The study used a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-tests. ANCOVA and T-tests were used to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed that there is a statistical significant difference between the two groups in developing language learning strategies in favor of the experimental group. Also, results showed that there is no statistically significant difference in using language learning strategies attributed to gender.
