This paper reports on a research project that was developed and used to examine the strategy use of Japanese lower secondary school learners of English. In the first part of the project, a questionnaire was constructed by (1) selecting categories of strategy based on open-ended data and (2) applying a factor analysis to data collected from 315 learners. The factor analysis uncovered the types of strategies used by the learners inside and outside their classrooms. In the second part of the project, variables affecting learners’ strategy use were examined by employing a questionnaire developed for this purpose. The analyses indicated (1) that females reported more use of strategies than males, and (2) interestingly enough, that no positive relationship was found between English proficiency and strategy use. Interpretations of these findings and their implications are then discussed.
