Development and Psychometric Testing of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). Appendix

Abstract

As part of a Language Skill Change Project (a longitudinal research effort to determine the status of language skills of Army Linguists after their formal language training is over) the work described in this report concerns development of a valid and reliable instrument to measure the frequency of various second-language-learning strategies. Findings indicate that key factors in long-term retention are study skills, functional practice, searching for and communicating meaning, formal practice, mnemonics, and fear of using the second language.
