Language learning strategies are known to enhance language learning. However, research has rarely included language learners with limited or no formal education, resulting in a lack of understanding of their use of language learning strategies.

Description: Register refers to linguistic patterns associated with particular situational contexts (Seoane & Biber, 2021, p. 2) where the linguistic patterns are clusters of features having a greater-than random likelihood to co-occur.
