This article reports the findings of a qualitative study aimed at investi-gating the use of L1-based grammar learning strategies by beginner-level Polish learners of L2 English. The research looked into the partic-ipants’ accounts of their strategy use and into their perceptions about the usefulness of referring to one’s L1 in learning L2 grammar. Semi-structured interviews were conducted as a data elicitation procedure. The findings pointed to considerable reliance on L1-based strategies, such as translation, in the participants’ learning of L2 English grammar, as well as positive opinions about their usefulness. L1-based strategies were reported to be used in explicit, analytic learning of L2 grammar, and their affective role in providing confidence to learners was also mentioned. Pedagogical implications include a need to raise learners’ awareness of the complex roles of the L1 in L2 learning and give them training in the use of specific strategies in order to make L1-based strategy use more informed.

Grammar learning strategies can be defined as deliberate actions and thoughts which are employed for learning and gaining greater control over the use of grammar structures (Cohen and Pinilla-Herrera, 2009: 64). This indicates that they are used with the purpose of developing both ex-plicit and implicit second language knowledge. Surprisingly, empirical in-vestigations of such strategic devices are few and far between, with the available studies relying on different classifications and data collection tools, and often producing conflicting results. The present paper contrib-utes to this important line of inquiry by reporting the findings of a re-search project which aimed to explore the use of these strategies by 200 advanced adult learners of English, future teachers of this language en-rolled in a BA program in English philology. The data were collected by means of an instrument designed by the present author (Pawlak, 2009c, 2010, 2011) on the basis of his taxonomy of such strategic devices and, similarly to earlier studies in this area (e.g. Pawlak 2008, 2009a), the analy-sis showed that the choice of grammar learning strategies hinges upon a number of variables and there are differences between the responses to Likert scale items and open-ended questions. The results serve as a basis for tentative suggestions for grammar instruction in modern languages departments and directions for future research.

Although there is a considerable body of research aiming to determine the effectiveness of different techniques and procedures in promoting the mastery of grammar structures in the target language, little is still known about how this effectiveness is mediated by individual difference (ID) variables, which, in turn, may determine learner engagement and translate into learning outcomes (Ellis, 2010; Pawlak, 2014, 2017b). For this reason, it is necessary to undertake research that would explore the link between grammar knowledge and ID factors. This is the rationale behind the research project funded by the Polish National Science Center outlined in the present paper. The project involves over 200 English philology and aims to establish the mediating effects of working memory, willingness to communicate, motivation, grammar learning strategies, and beliefs about grammar instruction with respect to the mastery of different types of English passive voice (i.e., different aspects and tenses), taking into account both explicit and implicit knowledge of this grammatical feature.
