LEARNING STRATEGY

Learning Strategy Training focuses on learner training as much as language teaching.Students should be responsible for their own learning. They should follow their learning process and be aware of their deficient and efficent sides. They should also monitor theirselves and identify what they need. The teacher helps them to facilitate their learning andto be more effective in learning the target language. After the students get some learningstrategies, they have a cognition about them. But they also have a metacognition which meansthat the students should be aware of the use of the strategies.

The teacher plays a modelling role while teaching the strategies to the students. S/he appliesthe strategy on a contex in the class by thinking aloud. He attracts the students attentions onhis beahviours and the way using the technique. As he is performing the techniques, he alsoinforms the students what he gets by doing so. After he has introduced the strategy, he wantsthe students to practice on the paper given by himself. He directs the students while they are practicing and he asks questions about the practice and the students reply them. The students¶ previous experiences are taken into account by the teacher which increase the motivation of them. The teacher also asks why they think so. There is two-way interaction between theteacher and the students. In this method, the teacher lets the student to think about their questions and guess the answer from the context rather than giving the answer directly. Hegives feedbacks for their guesses and reinforces the answers¶s accuracy by looking at thecontext. After the practice is done, students discuss about their performances and they Expresswhat they think about the usefullness of the strategy. They indentify what they acquire andwhat they need more. The teacher emboldens them they will achieve their difficulties over time using the strategy. He also announces that they should do more practice on the strategyout of the class and he reminds them how to use the strategy. These strategies will be useful for the student's academic studies as well as their learning the target language.
