Abstract	Research has shown that the use of effective language learning strategies is a major characteristic of successful language learners. However, the successfulness of strategy-use is often dependent on various factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate language learning strategies used by Iranian EFL students of different age and gender at Shiraz University. The study examined students’ strategy use in relation to factors such as gender and age. The participants of the quantitative phase of the study comprised 93 undergraduate university students who enrolled in the English Literature program in Iran; 30 students from the same group were randomly selected for the interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Multivariate Analysis of Variance to determine any significant difference in strategy use among students. Moreover, qualitative data were analyzed through the NVIVO and the three coding procedures of open-coding, axial-coding and selective-coding. The results of quantitative data showed that significant differences existed in the use of meta-cognitive strategies regarding the variable of age. The qualitative analysis using Nvivo revealed six qualitative models. Each of the models was allocated to one of the strategy categories of memory, cognitive, compensation, meta-cognitive, affective and social strategies.
