Abstract
This study is dedicated to the research of language learning strategies (LLSs) employed by a group of Saudi Arabian learners in an EFL context (English as a Foreign Language). The rationale for the study is to clarify a pronounced lack of research on the EFL context in Saudi Arabia, and a dearth of prior research into language learning strategies in this context. In particular, this research intends to investigate the general pattern of language learning strategy use among a group of Saudi Arabian EFL learners in terms of their overall strategy use, according to the six categories presented in the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) designed by Rebecca Oxford. The description of variables affecting LLS selection including gender, language proficiency, and cultural background contributing to the EFL learning environment will also be examined
