Language learning strategies: The adaptation of the Czech-language version of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning for secondary school students

Summary/Abstract: The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) is a common tool for assessing language learning strategies. However, due to changes in learning environments, such as increased digital exposure and out-of-class language practice, the original structure may not fully capture current learner strategies. Thus, validation is still needed. This study details the adaptation process of the questionnaire for the Czech context. It involved 1306 secondary school students (706 female, 555 male, and 45 identifying differently). Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted, testing two-, three-, and four-factor models. The two-factor model (CFI = .918, TLI = .901, RMSEA = .066, CMIN/DF = 3.806) provided the best fit. The final version includes both direct and indirect strategies. The tool shows excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .861; McDonald's ω = .853) and is useful for diagnostics and self-monitoring.
