The SILL version 7.0 was designed for speakers of ESL/EFL, and the questions are designed to report the frequency of use of language learning strategies. Therefore it is an appropriate tool for investigation here. Since the English level of my students is comparatively low, some of the original questions were simplified in order to make the meaning clearer, and some of the questions inappropriate for Hong Kong, were deleted from my questionnaire. Before administering this questionnaire to the students, I checked the content with a Chinese-speaking colleague to gauge the likelihood of the students being able to understand. Minor revisions were suggested and accommodated in to the final version. (See Appendix Two).
