Awareness is knowing what they have to do to optimalize their learning. Awareness will help you to assess your own strength and weakness and you will find the strategies that might help you to become more successful.

Action is practicing the strategy which appropriate to help your learning become optimal

STRATEGIES

Strategies are those specific “attacks” that we make on a given problem and that vary considerably within each individual. They are the moment-by-moment techniques that we employ to solve “problem” posed by second language input and output. The field of second language acquisition has distinguished between two types of strategy: learning strategies and communication strategies. There are fourteen characteristics of good language learners.

• Find their own way, taking charge or their learning
• Organize information about language
• Are creative, developing a “feel” for the language by experimenting with its grammar the classroom
• Make their own opportunities for practice in using the language inside and outside the classroom
• Learn to live with uncertainty by not getting flustered and by continuing to talk or listen without understand every word
• Use mnemonics and other memory strategies to recall what has been learned
• Make errors work for them and not against them
• Use linguistic knowledge, including knowledge of their first language, in learning a second language
• Use contextual cues to help them in comprehension
• Learn to make intelligent guesses
• Learn chunks of language as wholes and formalized routines to help them perform “beyond their competence”
• Learn certain tricks that help to keep conversation going
• Learn certain production strategies to fill in gaps in their own competence
• Learn different styles of speech and writing and learn to vary their language according to the formality of the situation.

Strategies were divided into three main categories. They are metacognitive, cognitive, and socioaffective.

Metacognitive is a term used in information-processing theory to indicate an “executive” function, strategies that involve planning for learning, thinking about the learning process as it is
