The project is based on an analysis of problems of foreign language learning and instruction in the Czech
Republic. Many pupils do not reach the expected language level even after many years of learning. The
reason is not only the quality of instruction but also the learning strategies of pupils. More than two thirds
of pupils reported not to be sure how to learn, and showed de ciency in learning skills and strategy use.
The project is based on the current state of art of learning strategies which shows that strategies do not
exist separately but in sequences and clusters that have to be described and analysed in terms of their
orchestration and quality of use. The aim of the project is 1) to introduce the concept of strategy sequences
and clusters as theoretical construct, 2) to nd out the typical sequences and clusters of foreign language
learning strategies and their relation to achievement in language situations and tasks, 3) to specify the
relation of strategies and achievement in foreign language at the end of lower secondary (i.e. compulsory)
education.
