What makes the difference between a successful language learner and an unsuccessful one? How can one learn English well?Since the1960s and 1970s, the study of second language acquisition has been started. Many scholars and educators devoted themselves to the study and gained great insight into the actral language acqusition.They found that a learner's learning results could be influenced by many factors. Among these factors, learning strategies were among the dominant ones.But most scholars focused their surveys on students'learning strategies or the relationship between learners'learning strategies and their achievements. Seldom did the scholars concentrate on the reasons for the problems appearing in learning. Meanwhile, for a long time, the scholars in their studies concentrated on college students.
