ABSTRACT. This study aimed to investigate the point of intersection of teachers’ and learners’ perceptions regarding language learning strategies. Using an original questionnaire developed in a classroom situation, the study examined reported frequency of strategy use by international students and teacher perceptions regarding the importance of strategy use. There was a high level of accord (71 per cent) between strategies which students reported using highly frequently and those which teachers reported regarding as highly important, an encouraging finding somewhat at variance with the results of some previous studies. Implications of these results for the teaching/learning situation are discussed.
