This research aims to examine the use of language learning strategies and self-regulatory learning skills of university preparatory class and private English language course students according to their school type, gender, proficiency level, graduated high school type, and age. 293 learners from Adnan Menders University, School of Foreign Languages, and 129 learners from private language schools in Aydın (a total of 422 learners) composed of the research sample. Language Learning Strategies Inventory, which was developed by Oxford (1990) and adapted to Turkish by Cesur and Fer (2007), and self-regulated learning scale developed by Turan (2009) were used to identify the use of language strategies and self-regulated learning skills of learners. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out for Language Learning Strategies Inventory and for Self-regulated Learning Scale both explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out by researchers. According to the results of the research, it was found that learners had a medium level use of language learning strategies and self-regulation skills. It was determined that the use of language learning strategies and self-regulation skills of private language course students are higher than those of preparatory class learners. It was also found that there was a positive, high-level correlation between the language learning strategies and self-regulation skills of the learners.
