dc.descriptionResearch on second and foreign language learning strategies has mushroomed over the last three decades and some very valuable studies have been conducted. Most, however examine strategies from a cognitive perspective, with fewer studies examining the emergence of learning strategies from a sociocultural perspective. In particular, the role of sociocultural mediation has not been specifically investigated as a solution for EFL learners’ difficulties by Iranian researchers. The study investigates the effects of mediated actions through the use of learner diaries, language tasks and teachers scaffolding techniques on the development of language learning strategies. Framed by sociocultural theory, activity theory, and the genetic method the study collects data using the learner-diary, observation field notes and student and teacher interviews. The findings reveal that diaries can help enhance motivation and confidence of students by providing opportunities to determine learning goals, perform various actions and recognize their learning outcomes. Teachers scaffolding role revealed 6 mediated strategies which supported strategy development like feedback, instruction, modeling, hinting, questioning and explaining. Meanwhile language tasks also led to specific mediated strategies for listening and speaking tasks. Overall the findings indicate there are specific factors which influence strategy development in the listening speaking classroom. The implications will assist teachers and learners to attain a deeper understanding of learners’ learning strategies mediated by sociocultural tools. Therefore, language teachers should utilize different forms of mediation in their teaching and assessing procedures to help learners harness the advantage of the efficacy of communicative classrooms.,PhD-
