Resumo: In the European context of higher education, learning a foreign language (FL) is essential for the development of future professionals. This study of case analyzes the language learning strategies (LLS) used by German students of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL). For this study, the strategy questionnaire SILL-Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (OXFORD, 1990) has been used as a fundamental tool in different universities of the state of Bavaria. The results indicated that: social and compensatory strategies are the most used; women use memory and compensatory strategies mostly, while men use metacognitive and cognitive strategies; and the FL variable influences the frequency of use of the compensatory category. These results hope to be a small contribution to the LLS knowledge of European SFL learners. Key words: European context; Higher Education; LLS; SFL

Este estudio de caso analiza las estrategias de aprendizaje de lengua (EAL) que utilizan estudiantes alemanes de español como lengua extranjera (ELE). Para este estudio se ha utilizado como herramienta fundamental el cuestionario de estrategias SILL-Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (OXFORD, 1990) en diferentes universidades del estado de Baviera. Los resultados indicaron que: las estrategias social y compensatoria son las más utilizadas; las mujeres utilizan en su mayoría las categorías mnemotécnicas y compensatorias mientras que los hombres emplean las metacognitivas y cognitivas; y la variable de LE influye en la frecuencia de uso de la categoría compensatoria. Estos resultados esperan ser una pequeña contribución al conocimiento de EAL de los aprendientes de ELE europeos.
