Process:

refers to how students make sense or understand the information, ideas and
skills being studied.
reflects student learning styles and preferences. (Tomlinson & Allan, 2000).

Strategy means a method. Such as when playing a football game, That was a
great strategy! It always works! or when playing a video Ok, our strategy is to go
around the enemy.
Learning strategies are defined as specific actions, behaviors, steps, or
techniques -- such as seeking out conversation partners, or giving oneself
encouragement to tackle a difficult language task -- used by students to enhance
their own learning (Scarcella & Oxford, 1992, p. 63).

When the learner consciously chooses strategies that fit his or her learning style
and the L2 task at hand, these strategies become a useful toolkit for active,
conscious, and purposeful selfregulation of learning.

Sort of, process is the path which every learner go through during the learning acquisition

and strategy is the way learner does. Strategy is a help for learners, a tool for students tto

become more active, more autonomous, more self-directed, and more discerning in their

own learning, instead, I believe that both, process and strategy are part of each one. It

cannot be a process without a strategy and vice versa.
