Taxonomy of Language Learning Strategies Rubin's (1987), Oxford's (1990), O'Malley's (1985), and Stern's (1992) taxonomies of language learning strategies

Definition of a Language Learning Strategy Wenden and Rubin (1987:19) define learning strategies as "... any sets of operations, steps, plans, routines used by the learner to facilitate the obtaining, storage, retrieval, and use of information.“ Richards and Platt (1992:209) state that learning strategies are "intentional behavior and thoughts used by learners during learning so as to better help them understand, learn, or remember new information." Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Faerch Claus and Casper (1983:67) stress that a learning strategy is "an attempt to develop linguistic and sociolinguistic competence in the target language." Stern (1992:261), "the concept of learning strategy is dependent on the assumption that learners consciously engage in activities to achieve certain goals and learning strategies can be regarded as broadly conceived intentional directions and learning techniques." Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Rubin's (1987) LS Rubin, who pionered much of the work in the field of strategies, makes the distinction between strategies contributing directly to learning and those contributing indirectly to learning. According to Rubin, there are three types of strategies used by learners that contribute directly or indirectly to language learning. These are:   Learning Strategies Communication Strategies Social Strategies Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Learning Strategies They are of two main types, being the strategies contributing directly to the development of the language system constructed by the learner:   Cognitive Learning Strategies Metacognitive Learning Strategies Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Cognitive Learning Strategies They refer to the steps or operations used in learning or problem-solving that require direct analysis, transformation, or synthesis of learning materials. Rubin identified 6 main cognitive learning strategies contributing directly to language learning:   Clarification / Verification Guessing / Inductive Inferencing Deductive Reasoning Practice Memorization Monitoring Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Metacognitive Learning Strategies These strategies are used to oversee, regulate or self-direct language learning. They involve various processes as planning, prioritising, setting goals, and self-management Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Communication Strategies They are less directly related to language learning since their focus is on the process of participating in a conversation and getting meaning across or clarifying what the speaker intended. Communication strategies are used by speakers when faced with some difficulty due to the fact that their communication ends outrun their communication means or when confronted with misunderstanding by a co-speaker. Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Social Strategies Social strategies are those activities learners engage in which afford them opportunities to be exposed to and practise their knowledge. Although these strategies provide exposure to the target language, they contribute indirectly to learning since they do not lead directly to the obtaining, storing, retrieving, and using of language (Rubin and Wenden 1987:23-27). Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Oxford's (1990) Language Learning Strategies Oxford divides LLS into two classes, direct and indirect, which are further subdivided into 6 groups. Metacognitive strategies help learners to regulate their learning. Affective strategies are concerned with the learner's emotional requirements such as confidence, while social strategies lead to increased interaction with the target language. Cognitive strategies are the mental strategies learners use to make sense of their learning, memory strategies are those used for storage of information, and compensation strategies help learners to overcome knowledge gaps to continue the communication.

Metacognitive Strategies A. Centering your learning INDIRECT STRATEGIES Metacognitive Strategies A. Centering your learning B. Arranging and planning your learning C. Evaluating your learning II. Affective Strategies A. Lowering your anxiety B. Encouraging yourself C. Taking your emotional temperature III. Social Strategies A. Asking questions B. Cooperating with others C. Emphathising with others Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

O'Malley's (1985) Classification of LLS O'Malley et al. (1985:582-584) divide language learning strategies into three main subcategories:   Metacognitive Strategies Cognitive Strategies Socioaffective Strategies Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Metacognitive Strategies Metacognitive is a term to express executive function, strategies which require planning for learning, thinking about the learning process as it is taking place, monitoring of one's production or comprehension, and evaluating learning after an activity is completed. In applying metacognitive strategies, it is possible to include advance organizers, directed attention, selective attention, self-management, functional planning, self-monitoring, delayed production, self-evaluation. Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Cognitive Strategies Cognitive strategies are more limited to specific learning tasks and they involve more direct manipulation of the learning material itself. Egs. of CS include; Repetition, resourcing, translation, grouping, note taking, deduction, recombination, imagery, auditory representation, key word, contextualization, elaboration, transfer, inferencing. Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Socioaffective Strategies Socioaffective strategies can be related to social-mediating activity and transacting with others. Cooperation and question for clarification are the main socioaffective strategies (Brown 1987:93-94). Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Stern's (1992) Classification of LLS Stern (1992:262-266), proposes five main language learning strategies. They are:   Management and Planning Strategies Cognitive Strategies Communicative - Experiential Strategies Interpersonal Strategies Affective Strategies Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Management and Planning Strategies They are related with the learner's intention to direct his own learning. A learner can take charge of the development of his own programme when he is helped by a teacher whose role is that of an adviser and resource person. That is to say that the learner must:   decide what commitment to make to language learning set himself reasonable goals decide on an appropriate methodology, select appropriate resources, and monitor progress, evaluate his achievement in the light of previously determined goals and expectations ( Stern 1992:263). Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Cognitive Strategies They are steps or operations used in learning or problem solving that require direct analysis, transformation, or synthesis of learning materials. Exps. of some CS:   Clarification / Verification Guessing / Inductive Inferencing Deductive Reasoning Practice Memorization Monitoring Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Communicative - Experiential Strategies Communication strategies, such as circumlocution, gesturing, paraphrase, or asking for repetition and explanation are techniques used by learners so as to keep a conversation going. The purpose of using these techniques is to avoid interrupting the flow of communication (Stern 1992:265). Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Interpersonal Strategies Learners should monitor their own development and evaluate their own performance. Learners should contact with native speakers and cooperate with them. Learners must become acquainted with the target culture (Stern 1992: 265-266). Language Lrg. Strategies EDU 3231 Trends/gm/upm/2004-2005

Affective Strategies It is evident that good language learners employ distinct affective strategies. Language learning can be frustrating in some cases. The feeling of strangeness can be evoked by the foreign language. In some other cases, L2 learners may have negative feelings about native speakers of L2. Good language learners are more or less conscious of these emotional problems. Good language learners try to create associations of positive affect towards the foreign language and its speakers as well as towards the learning activities involved. Learning training can help students to face up to the emotional difficulties and to overcome them by drawing attention to the potential frustrations or pointing them out as they arise (Stern 1992:266).
