Abstract
This article critically reviews strategy research on learning Chinese both as a
second and foreign language. Through a careful examination of major data bases
in both the Chinese and English languages, the article summarizes research
in the field and the principal research methods used in the studies reviewed.
Moreover, key limitations in research designs, inconsistencies in reported
findings, inappropriate use of research methods, and weaknesses in
both Chinese- and English-language publications are discussed. The article
concludes by calling for future research paying more attention to current language
learning strategy theories and practices.
