Cohen, A. D. (1998). Strategies in learning and using a second language. Harlow, England: Longman.

This volume distinguishes language learning from language use strategies, describes research methods for investigating these strategies, and then presents ground-breaking research which links the use of strategies on specific tasks with language performance on those tasks. The book then considers the language of thought chosen by multilingual learners, and introduces cutting-edge studies investigating the languages used for performing cognitive operations. In addition, the volume deals with strategies that learners select for coping with language tests, quizzes, and other measures of their language ability, and provides empirical research probing the use of test-taking strategies.
