Language Learning Strategies (LLS)
Why teach them?
LLS instruction focuses on making the students more active learners by teaching them how to learn and how to use what they have learned, and be more successful second language learners.
What are learner strategies for?

    • for enhancing learning.

    • for performing specified tasks.

    • for solving specific problems.

    • for compensating for a deficit in learning.

    • for making learning easier, faster, more enjoyable.


Distinct from Learning Styles

  • learner's "natural, habitual, and preferred way(s) of absorbing, processing, and retaining new information and skills" (Reid, 1995, p. viii)

STYLE INVENTORY
Take 5 minutes to fill out the survey.
Language Learning Strategies
specific actions, behaviors, steps, or techniques that students (often intentionally) use to improve their progress in developing L2 skills. These strategies can facilitate the internalization, storage, retrieval, or use of the new language. Strategies are tools for the self-directed involvement necessary for developing communicative ability.” (Oxford, 1992/1993, p. 18)
National Standards
Students who use learning strategies effectively begin to see themselves as language learners and take on more responsibility for their own learning. Learning strategies benefit all students since even those who use some strategies effectively can be taught additional ones. (Standards, p. 30-31)
When you learned your L2, what strategies did you use?
Take 2 minutes to think about some strategies you personally use.

Then talk with your table group for 5 minutes.

  • learner-centered and allow learners to become more self-directed

  • expand your role as the language teacher

  • are problem-oriented

  • involve many aspects, not just the cognitive

  • can be taught

  • are flexible

  • are influenced by a variety of factors

Why are these important?

  • “… they are tools for active, self-directed involvement, which is essential for developing communicative competence” (Oxford, 1990)
