Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency with which primary school EFL
learners used language learning strategies for listening, speaking, reading, writing, translating
and learning vocabulary. The study was carried out on 53 students, divided into two age
groups (fifth- and seventh-graders). Data was collected using a modified version of Cohen
and Oxford’s (2002) Young Learners’ Language Strategy Use Survey, and then subject to
statistical analysis using R software. The results showed that both groups of participants used
translation strategies equally frequently, while the fifth-graders were more frequent users of
all other groups of strategies. Both groups of participants used vocabulary strategies less
frequently than those for listening. In the individual strategies within the six strategy groups,
differences were found in only three subgroups. Finally, the main findings of the study were
used to discuss possible implications for teaching.
