Learning Strategies What are learning strategies? Techniques which are used by good language learners, e.g., to help them understand new input, remember vocabulary, communicate effectively etc.

Learning Strategies Metacognitive Cognitive ( knowing about knowing) are used to shape and control learning Planning learning Reviewing work Assessing one’s own performance Forming hypotheses Cognitive (are task specific) Classifying Matching Predicting Sequencing

Learning Strategies Brainstorm all the ways you can think for learning vocabulary. Think about the way you learn new words – how do you learn them? Write your ideas into the thought bubbles.

Learning Strategies Read words aloud and associate the sounds with words which have similar sounds Look at the word on context to understand the meaning and see what kinds words it s used with Define parts of speech and see if this is changeable Keep a vocabulary notebook with sound ,context, synonyms, antonyms etc. Organising the entries in the vocabulary notebook according to a system e.g. alphabetical, according to topic, coursebook unit etc Use dictionaries to find out as much as you can about the word Draw illustrations Write dialogues or stories Write examples of how the word can be used in different contexts Travel with the vocabulary notebook, review on the way to school etc. Record words onto mp3\ cassette and listen Test yourself regularly

Age-related learner differences Discuss the following statements. Do you associate them with children, teenagers, adults, with two of groups or all groups? Sometimes have short attention spans Motivated to learn for career reasons Need to have routines Cognitive skills are usually well developed Discipline problems usually not an issue Like to do activities involving movement May be shyer\ more reluctant to speak Able to concentrate for long periods Respond well to project work related to personal inerests Motor skills not fully developed May find it hard to keep still May be subject to mood changes

Previous language learning experience Group discussion What things did your teachers do that you found helpful helpful \ unhelpful? How do the effects of past experience influence learners( their styles, motivation and attitudes)?

Planning lessons for learners’ preferred learning styles Look at the activities and say which learning style they would suit. Remember that some activities can suit more than one learning style. Choose from these learning styles visual auditory kinaesthetic

Questionnaires on learning styles http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/ILSpage.html http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire

Reflection Talk to each other about your own learning preferences Can you identify learning styles and learning strategies your colleagues use? How could you adapt this for finding out about the learning styles your classrooms?

Thank you!
