Building upon previous research, the present large-scale study looks into the relationship between multilingualism and factors influencing language learning strategies by comparing 932 monolingual and 307 multilingual learners’ strategy use. The participants completed the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) Version 7.0 (Oxford 1990). The collected data were computed and analyzed via t-test, oneway and two-way ANOVA with respect to overall strategy use and the six categories by monolingual and multilingual learners and the independent variables. Interactions tested among the independent variables were not statistically significant pointing to the variables’ discreteness. However, the main effect of each independent variable, without the interference of the other variables, was statistically significant for certain strategy categories.
