·   Autonomy, Awareness, and Action 

To develop learners to  be able to recognize and use English as a tool to communicate ideas requires to guide learners into a variety of strategies they can take and implement to organize, associate and find usages for knowledge about this foreign language to meet main goal of lessons: to speak English.Firstly we need to make students able to realize the importance of their own learning process and the knowledge they are acquiring, this is the principal step towards a true autonomy, awareness and action in our students and make the center of the learning process itself.The core of forming students who can understand other language and implement it interchanging ideas is they first can be independent.   To get and state in which learners are independents is necessary make them:   Awareness: our aim is to engage students´ motivation into English context, make them to see the importance in using a foreign language to speak English and not only to travel around the world but also to develop deeply cognitive skills, have a wider range of possibilities to work, stimulate them to be responsible about their learning processes and help them to understand they can improve as much as they wish. Community language which combining innovative and conventional strategies to make classroom a community within all learners are involved is useful developing awareness.
Autonomy: “require use of strategies, as long as motivation is present, we give students a large vocabulary in order to provide bases enough to get messages teacher gives, follow instructions, understand activities and do tasks. Audio-lingual method which provides them dialogues, vocabulary, pronunciation and patterns enough to allow students do by themselves.
Action: when learners associate and perform what teacher asks for and also use all those resources received to express ideas about class and although related with other aspects like their lives, likes, dislikes, styles etc. carrying out what have been Explained, total physical response, information sharing, interaction, students speak using vocabulary provided will show as if they really met awareness and autonomy into their actions.  

·   Strategies

If styles are general characteristic that differentiate one individual from another then strategies are those specific attacks that we make on given problem. And that considerably within each individual. The field of second language acquisition has distinguished between two types of strategy, those are learning strategies and communication strategies. The former relate to input to process, storage, and retrieval, that is taking in messages each other.

·    Learning Strategies
Learning strategies are used by students to help them understand information and solve problems. A learning strategy is a person's approach to learning and using information. Students who do not know or use good learning strategies often learn passively and ultimately fail in school. Learning strategy instruction focuses on making the students more active learners by teaching them how to learn and how to use what they have learned to solve problems and be successful.Typically, strategies were divided into three main categories. Those are, metacognitive,  cognitive strategies, and socioaffective strategies
