The relationship of language learning strategies to success in a foreign language has been the focus of research over the past decades. Studies have shown that, by using strategies, students can become less dependent on the teacher. Therefore, carrying out research in the language classroom can give teachers a deeper insight into the field of foreign language teaching and learning. This paper reports the results of a workshop on writing strategies, which was part of a larger project carried out by the Chair of English Language I to develop learning strategies in an English as a Foreign Language course at university.Keywords: language learning strategies - strategy-based instruction - writing strategies - students? perceptions - students? performance
