The objective of this study is to examine which learning strategies French as a foreign language learners in upper secondary school use and to study whether this corresponds with what their teacher believes. Two different methods are used to collect the data. The strategy inventory for language learning is used to find out which learning strategies learners use and a semi-structured interview is used to understand whether learners' strategies match those their teacher bellieves. The results show that the teacher has a good knowledge of the strategies that reside in her classroom, which goes against previous studies. Furthemore, the research reveals that the teacher's previous learning experience (through school and university) and personal experience influence what she does in the classroom, even in terms of learning strategies. However, this does not lead to student adopting these strategies to a greater extent. It has been more than 30 years since research reported that teachers of ignore the learning strategies used by their students. It is concluded that there is a need to conduct a similar study with more and varied cases to see if it is still the case.
