This study investigated whether there were any significant differences between Korean EFL learners' actual use of learning strategies and their beliefs in the effectiveness of the strategy use. This study was also conducted to see if more successful learners were different from their counterparts in the ways they used social learning strategies. A total of 58 university students participated in this study. Data were collected by Oxford's SILL (1990) and follow-up in-depth interviews. Descriptive and inferential statistics and analytic inductive method were used to analyze the data. This study found that the subjects employed learning strategies significantly less than they believed they should. The follow-up in-depth interviews revealed that it was language anxiety that was responsible for the gap; Less successful learners felt more anticipated language anxiety, carrying their unpleasant experiences with unfriendly native speakers of English to the next communication. The findings of this study indicate that more attention should be paid to socio-affective sides of language learning and that language teaching practices and materials should be more authentic, reflecting the real world as it is.
Abstract
This study investigated whether there were any significant differences between Korean EFL learners' actual use of learning strategies and their beliefs in the effectiveness of the strategy use.

Descriptive and inferential statistics and analytic inductive method were used to analyze the data. This study found that the subjects employed learning strategies significantly less than they believed they should. The follow-up in-depth interviews revealed that it was language anxiety that was responsible for the gap; Less successful learners felt more anticipated language anxiety, carrying their unpleasant experiences with unfriendly native speakers of English to the next communication. The findings of this study indicate that more attention should be paid to socio-affective sides of language learning and that language teaching practices and materials should be more authentic, reflecting the real world as it is.
