Dear Miss Aleyda and Classmates.
according to Catherine Y. kinoshita, Language learning strategies are used in order to help the FSL/EFL students to develop in a better way the four basic language skills which are, reading, writing, speaking and listening. They should be integrated into regular language lessons.
One important aspect to teach language learning strategies is that students will be aware of which strategy fits the best in a certain task, also learners become active participants of they own learning. In fact language learning strategies can be trained to the students, in other words is teachable so the learner in determine way will put in practice the one that fits the best in a determine task.
There are two approaches in order to teach learning strategy instruction. The first one is teach the learners through different materials and activities but without tell the them what is the name or the purpose so the students have to infer. The second one informs learners of the value and purpose of learning strategies and help them to use the learning strategies.
teachers must be aware of how to teach these strategies, make clear when and why to use it.
Have a nice day!
