Abstract:

This paper mainly investigates the use of English learning strategies by middle school students in different regions (towns and villages), compares the survey results, analyzes the overall situation of the use of English learning strategies by urban and rural students, and discusses the differences in their use of English learning strategies and how to cultivate rural students' English learning strategies under the background of rural revitalization strategy. This study aims to help students in different regions use English learning strategies more effectively to improve their learning efficiency and develop their autonomous learning ability. Meanwhile, I hope that more English teachers can pay attention to students' learning strategies and strengthen the guidance and training of learning strategies to improve teaching quality.
