The present study aims to investigate the probable relationship between self-regulated strategies and home cultural attachment among Iranian English as a Foreign Language -EFL- learners. To achieve the purpose of this study, 90 EFL upper intermediate and advanced levels students -both male and female- were selected according to convenience sampling from different language institutes in Mashhad, Iran. They were asked to complete the \\\'Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire\\\' and the \\\'Home Cultural Attachment Scale\\\'. In order to achieve anonymity, each participant was also given a written consent form which elaborated the confidentiality of the obtained data. The findings based on correlation, demonstrate the theoretical expectation of a link between self-regulation and home cultural attachment. In addition, the result of the findings indicated that among the components of self-regulated strategies, \\\'self-regulation\\\' and \\\'self-efficacy\\\' have the highest correlations with students\\\' home cultural attachment. Subsequent data from step-wise regression showed that among sub-components of self-regulation, regulation is the best predictor of learners\\\' home cultural attachment. The implications of the research are further discussed with reference to earlier findings.
