摘要：Learning strategies have been the focus of much attention during the last decades. Language teachers and researchers have been interested in the phenomenon of foreign language learning strategies and study skills for a number of years. Study skills are important for students to realize their potential to become successful at what they wish to achieve. It has been believed that there are some differences between Turkish and European students regarding their proficiency level. The goal of this study which addresses the use of learning strategies among students in different cultural contexts is to state the ingredients of study skills and learning strategies, to show whether some crosscultural differences occur between Turkish and West European university students and to find out whether such differences might be held responsible for such a discrepancy. The students of the English departments enrolled in Turkey, Holland, Belgium and Spain participated in this study. The learning and study strategy use of six groups of students in four different countries has been examined by administrating LASSI (Weinstein 1987). The group consisted of 348 students, 300 females and 48 males, who were in the last year of their teacher training. These students ranged in age from 21 to 24 years. The LASSI profiles of the Turkish students have been compared with the profiles of the Dutch, Belgian and Spanish students.
