To collect data, Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and a motivational questionnaire were used. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using correlation. Results showed that, first, Iranian EFL participants, in general, had a moderately high level of motivation toward learning English. Second, they were more integratively motivated. Third, compensation strategies were the leading strategy type and social strategies were the least common reported type of strategy. Fourth, motivation correlated positively with all types of language learning strategies. Finally, the implications of the findings for L2 research and pedagogy are presented.
