ncingstrategy training. Based on the previous review, this chapter firstly put forward theresearch questions.

3.1 In ferencing Strategies Used and Their Frequency
The questionnaire used in this thesis was designed on the basis of a 5-pointLikert scale ranging from 1 (“never or almost never true of me”) to 5 (“always oralmost always true of me”). A-E equals 1-5 respectively. In order to find out whichstrategies are the most and least frequently used, frequency of each strategy used bystudents is calculated with the help of SPSS. The frequency of each strategy iscalculated based on the total numbe本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
