First, a brief description of the SILL, a self-report quetionnaire, is provided, and empirical studies indicating its drawbacks are summarized. Then we report an analysis that shows the underlying factor structure of the SILL when administered to 200 college students studying English as a Foreign Language in Japan. In this analysis, the universality of the SILL is challenged, and also, a sugggestion is made that not only county-by-coungry SILL norms but also proficiency level-by-level norms should be establised. After the factor analysis, relationships are sought, using a multiple regression procedure, between the factors found and EFL proficiency measered by the TOEFL. The rsults provide theoretical implications for further improvement of the SILL (especially concerning the validity issue) as well as for the development of sound strategy training programs in the EFL environment .}, pages = {51--62}, title = {Toward the Establishment of Country -by-Country SILL (Strategy Inventory for Language Learning) Norms}, volume = {36}, year = {1999} }
