Sažetak
The aim of this study was to examine the use of learning strategies for Croatian Sign Language (HZJ) by students of the Speech and Language Pathology study program at the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Zagreb (N= 69), and students (“course takers”) attending HZJ courses at associations “Theatre, Visual Arts and Deaf Culture – Dlan” and "Croatian Association of the Deafblind – Dodir" (N=129). For 45 faculty students HZJ was an obligatory course, and for 24 of them it was an elective course. The instrument used was the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) (Oxford, 1990). There was no significant difference between the students and course-takers in the use of language learning strategies. Both groups equally use the following strategies (in order of frequency): social, compensation, metacognitive, memory and cognitive strategies. Affective strategies were used the least, which indicates that students should be directed to the use of strategies for reducing anxiety and fear when learning this complex and challenging language.
