This research seeks to extend our current knowledge in the area of
distanct English language learning by exploring the language learning
strategies used by students at the Syrian Virtual University (SVU).
Open and distance learning is experiencing a rapid growth
throughout the world and Syria is no exception. With the turn of the new
millennium, Syria launched two state institutes for distance learning: The
Open Learning Centre (opened in 2001) and
the Syrian Virtual University
(opened in 2002). The Syrian Virtual University (SVU), one of its kind in
the whole Arab region, offers students the opportunity to gain education
through an online learning environment based on the latest technology.
Since Syria is a country where English has become an important
educational requirement, the teaching of English as a foreign language
has therefore entered the arena of distance learning.
