1 16. STRATEGIES-BASED INSTRUCTION
Teaching by Principles By H.D. Brown

2 STRATEGIES-BASED INSTRUCTION
The persistent use of a whole battery of strategies for language learning Sometimes these strategies are subconsciously applied Often learners have achieved their goals through conscious, systematic application of a battery of strategies

3 STRATEGIC INVESTMENT Strategic investment
Strategies-based instruction (SBI) Teachers might overlook their mission of enabling learners to eventually become independent, autonomous Students need to have the necessary strategy competence for the give and take of meaningful communication

4 GOOD LANGUAGE LEARNERS
By Joan Rubin and Irene Thompson Good language learners; 1. find their own way, taking charge of their learning 2. organize information about language 3. are creative, developing a “feel” for the language by experimenting with its grammar and words

5 GOOD LANGUAGE LEARNERS
make their own opportunities for practice learn to live with uncertainty use mnemonics & other memory strategies make errors work for them use linguistic knowledge

6 GOOD LANGUAGE LEARNERS
9. use contextual cues to help them in comprehension 10. use contextual cues to help them in comprehension 11. learn to make intelligent guesses 12. learn chunks to help them perform “beyond their competence”

7 GOOD LANGUAGE LEARNERS
13. learn certain tricks that help to keep conversations going 14. learn certain production strategies to fill in gaps 15. learn different styles of speech & writing & vary their language according to the formality of the situation

8 STYLES OF SUCCESSFUL LANGUAGE LEARNING
Styles : the consistent and enduring traits, tendencies, or preferences that may differentiate you from others Strategies : specific methods of approaching a problem or task for controlling and manipulating certain information

9 STYLES OF SUCCESSFUL LANGUAGE LEARNING
successful second learners are usually people who know how to manipulate style as well as strategy levels the number of personality (extroversion, self-esteem, anxiety) and cognitive styles ( left/right brain orientation, ambiguity tolerance, field sensitivity) that lead toward successful learning is finite.

10 DEVELOPING STUDENT SELF-AWARNESS OF STYLES
Informal self-checklists Formal personality and cognitive style tests any self-check test is a product of a test-taker’s own self image their responses may reflect a bit of self-flattery

11 DEVELOPING STUDENT SELF-AWARNESS OF STYLES
Reading, lectures, and discussion Encouraging “good language learner” behavior through frequent impromptu reminders of rules for good language learning and encouragement of discussion or clarification

12 HOW TO TEACH STRATEGIES IN THE CLASSROOM
Direct or cognitive strategies learners apply directly to the language itself Indirect or metacognitive strategies - learners manage or control their own learning process

13 HOW TO TEACH STRATEGIES IN THE CLASSROOM
Teach strategies through interactive techniques ex) information-gap listening technique Use compensatory techniques Administer a strategy inventory Make use of impromptu teacher-initiated advice seize the opportunities to teach your students how to learn

14 “PACKAGED” MODELS OF SBI
Textbook-embedded instruction Adjunct self-help guides Learning centers
