The present paper adopts a chronological perspective to report the development of Language Learning Strategy research in the last forty years. First, relevant strategy research is reviewed and findings from seminal studies are examined. Then, a brief overview of intervention studies is provided. Important discussions include the birth of strategy studies, controversies surrounding the field, issues in strategy training, as well as contributions from this research area to second / foreign language instruction. The paper concludes with future research directions.
