CONCLUSIONS
Chapter 1 is dedicated to the literature review concerning foreign language, foreign language learning and acquisition, learner’s strategies. There is shown the difference between concepts- ‘foreign’ and ‘second’ language. There also is compared the foreign language learning and acquisition.

Language learning strategies are ‘a way in which a learner attempts to work out the
meanings and uses of words, grammatical rules, and other aspects of a language’ (Richards, Platt, Weber, 1992) and ‘strategies which contribute to the development of the language
system which the learner constructs and affect learning directly’ (Wenden, Rubin, 1987). The strategies are classified into cognitive learning strategies, metacognitive learning strategies, communication strategies and social strategies.
