Abstract
One of the most researched and important areas of second language acquisition are individual differences between the learners, i.e. why some learners tend to learn foreign languages easier than the others. Some of the most common individual differences are age, language aptitude, motivation, personality, language learning styles and strategies etc. This diploma paper deals individual differences in learning English as a foreign language, i.e. more specifically with the personality of learners and language learning strategies.The main aim of this paper was to explore the relationship between one specific dimension of learners' personality, i.e. introversion/extroversion, language learning strategies that learners use, and how exactly do these reflect on success in English as a foreign language. The results of the research conducted in this paper show that introverts' most frequently used strategies are metacognitive, whereas most frequently used strategies by extroverts are social. A statistically significant correlation was found between introversion and school success and the usage of metacognitive strategies and school success This could lead to the conclusion that introverts were more successful in learning English, and that using matecognitive strategies helped them achieve that success. However, because the research on personality types and language learning strategies has provided many contradictory results, it cannot be said for sure and it has not been unanimously agreed upon which language learning strategies and types of personalities exactly foster the foreign language learning to the greatest extent.
Abstract (croatian)
Jedno od najvažnijih i najčešće istraživanih područja u usvajanju i učenju stranih jezika su individualne razlike između učenika, tj. zašto su neki učenici bolji u učenju stranih jezika od drugih. Neke od najpoznatijih individualnih razlika su dob, talent za učenje jezika, motivacija, osobnost, stilovi i strategije učenja jezika itd. Ovaj se diplomski rad se bavi individualnim razlikama u učenju engleskog kao stranog jezika. Glavni je cilj ovog rada bio istražiti povezanost između specifične dimenzije osobnosti učenika, tj. introverzije/ekstraverzije, strategija učenja jezika koje učenici koriste te načina na koji ove dvije varijable utječu na uspjeh u engleskom kao stranom jeziku. Iz rezultata je razvidno da introverti najčešće koriste metakognitivne strategije, a ekstroverti socijalne strategije. Radom se nadalje ukazuje na statistički značajnu povezanost između introverzije i školskog uspjeha te metakognitivnih strategija i školskog uspjeha. Rezultati ukazuju na činjenicu da su učenici koji koriste više metakognitivnih strategija uspješniji u učenju engleskog kao stranog jezika. Međutim, budući da su istraživanja o osobnosti i strategijama učenja jezika dosad dala veliku količinu proturječnih rezultata, nije moguće točno odrediti i sa sigurnošću reći koji tipovi osobnosti i primjena kojih strategija najviše olakšava učenje stranih jezika.
