HOW TO TEACH STRATEGIES IN THE CLASSROOM

The strategies are divided into what have come to be known. As direct or cognitive

strategies, which learners apply directly to the language itself, and indirect strategies , which

learners manage or control their own learning process.

1.  Direct strategies include :

  Remembering more effectively

  Using all your cognitive process

  Compensating for missing knowledge

2.  Indirect strategies include :

  Organizing and evaluating your learning

  Managing your emotions

  Learning with others

There are four approaches can take to teaching strategies in the language classroom:

1.  Teach Strategies through Interactive Techniques

According Rebecca Oxford (1990) she show the strategies can encourage the

students to develop their strategy learning. For example, an information listening

techniques was explained in which student listen a conversation on the tape an work in

group then fill in an information for each of four people mentioned in the conversation .

Rebecca explained that such a task involves direct strategies like practicing

naturalistically, guessing, note- taking, focusing attention, and cooperating with other

learners.

2.  Compensatory Techniques

According Alice Omaggio (1981) the technique purpose to switch student’s

learning styles which have problem, can help the student to solve their problem of 

learning. For example, reflectiveness /caution is a problem that appear when the students

no want to put a risk, they will stop to long time before answer the questions in order to

get good result. These use technique of group, role play, and make brainstorming.

3.  Administer a Strategy Inventory (SILL)

The best and most comprehensive of such instruments is Rebecca Oxford’s(1990)

Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). T he SILL has now been used with

learners in a number of different countries including the US. The SILL can be used in

class for developing awareness of strategies in the same way suggested earlier for the

self checklist on styles. Or it could become an out of class assignment for later class

discussion. Its scoring and interpretation can be tricky, however, so make sure that in

either case students are fully aware of how to score it. And the SILL can do double duty

as an instrument that enlightens you about different ways that your learners could become

a little more successful in their language learning endeavor.

4.  Make use of impromptu teacher initiated advice

May recall from the discussion of developing style awareness, learners can benefit

greatly from teacher daily attention to the many little tricks of the trade that can pass on

them. Think back to teacher’s language learning experiences and what it was that now

attribute teacher to success. when the appropriate moments occur in class, seize the

opportunity to teach the students how to learn. By doing so teacher will increase their

opportunity for strategies investment in their learning process.

STRATEGIES BASED INSTRUCTION

  STRATEGIC INVESTMENT

Strategic Investment is language teaching methodology has seen a dramatic

increase in recent years that learners can make in their own learning process. The

learning of any skill involves a certain degree of “ investment” of one’s time and effort.

Every complex set of skill is acquired through a combination of observing, focusing,

practicing, monitoring, correcting, and redirecting. And so one develops strategies for

perceiving others and for singling out relevant elements of language and all the other

necessary behaviors essential for ultimate mastery. A language is probably the most

complex set of skill one could ever seek to acquire, therefore, an investment is necessary

in the form of developing multiple layers of strategies for getting that language into one’s

brain.

  GOOD LANGUAGE LEARNERS

The good language learner studies are of obvious interest to teacher. The more

classroom activity can model the behavior exhibited by successful language learners, the

better and more efficient the student will be, especially in developing their own autonomy

as learners.

  STYLES OF SUCCESFUL LANGUAGE LEARNING

Styles area an appropriate characterization of how the teacher behave in general,

even though may for a multitude of reasons adopt more introverted or left brain behavior

in specific contexts.

  DEVELOPING STUDENT SELF AWARENESS OF STYLES

1. Informal self checklists

2. Formal personality and cognitive style tests

3. Readings, lectures, and discussions

4. Encouraging “ good language learner “ behavior
