Abstract
Early research into language learning strategies, for instance by Rubin (1975, 1981) and Stern (1975), focused predominantly on identifying LLS that learners employed. As Ellis (1994) adds, the strategies that were identified focused on the setting, particular interests of the researchers or the type of learners under study. There was little interest in classifying those strategies into more general groups or categories.
