Abstract
The article analyzes oral exercises localization from the perspective of the learning strategies of Thai learners, which is based on Oxford’s classification system of second language learning strategies. It was found that, regarding the usage of learning strategies by Thai learners from a survey of 232 samples in seven universities, the frequency of learning strategies used by Thai learners includes cognitive strategies > social strategies > memory strategies. However, gender, HSK levels and grades have no significant impact on that. The strategies of ‘repeating’ (cognitive strategies), ‘taking notes’ (cognitive strategies), ‘asking questions’ (social strategies), ‘translating’ (cognitive strategies), and ‘using imagery’ (memory strategies) are commonly used. Lastly, four suggestions for localization of oral practice based on the usage of Thai learning strategies are put forward.
