To investigate the effect of semantic mapping strategies a treatment after the pre-test and before the post-test was conducted in order to teach semantic mapping strategies to learners. To analyze the recorded data, Sample T-test was used. To determine the best strategy among the three considered kinds, factor analysis was conducted.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Yekan, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Oxford (1990) considered that “any specific action taken by the learner to make learning easier, faster, more enjoyable, more self-directed, more effective, and more transferable to new situations” is a language learning strategy. Oxford (1990) divided strategies into two major types, direct and indirect. The indirect strategies are divided into metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. Metacogntive strategies, like <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">advanced organizers</em>, are “actions which go beyond purely cognitive devices, and which provide a way for learners to coordinate their own learning process” (p. 136).</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Yekan, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Yekan, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Cohen (1998:8) expressed the following:</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Yekan, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Yekan, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Since strategies themselves have sometimes been referred to as ‘good’, ‘effective’, or ‘successful’ and the converse, it needs to be pointed out that with some exceptions, strategies themselves are not inherently good or bad, but have the potential to be used effectively whether by the same learner from one instance within one task to another instance within that same task, from one task to another, or by different learners dealing with the same task. Perhaps if enough learners in a given group successfully use a given strategy in a given task, then claims could be made for the effectiveness of that strategy in that instance for that group. Otherwise, it is safest to refer to what often amounts to panoply of potentially useful strategies for any given task.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Yekan, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Yekan, Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Furthermore, various researchers suggested (Ellis, 1994) that one trait of good language learners is that they are able to cater their foreign language learning strategy use to their proficiency level demands.</p>
