This paper tries to determine how learners' perceptions of strategy utility and cost are related to their actual strategy use and non-use. To date, most of the relevant studies have been descriptive in nature in that the research approach taken is to focus mainly on finding interlearner differences in strategy use. Since learning is basically an individual and self-regulated process, we cannot ignore intralearner factors and should see what makes learners decide to use or not to use strategies. A questionnaire survey was conducted to explore to what extent and how Japanese university learners' perceptions of utility and cost of strategies have effects on actual strategy use and non-use. It was found that their perceptions of strategies clearly influence their use and non-use of the strategies in many different ways. Particularly, the results strongly showed that the more useful and important learners perceive a specific strategy to be (utility judgment), the more often they actually use it. Some other interesting findings were also shown with implications for future research in this field.
