Learning Strategies
Cognitive
Classifying: This strategy is developed by pairing things that are similar together in a group and then studying them. EXAMPLE: Making a list of verbs then classifying into regular and irregular verbs.
Predicting: This strategy focuses on the predicting that we can do through inferences on the incoming learning. EXAMPLE: Through the presentation of pictures to the class, the students can predict what topic is going to be revised.
Inducing: This strategy is focuses on the search of things like patterns or regularities. EXAMPLE: Listen to a couple of conversation and discover which one is talking about future situations and which one is talking about past situations.
Taking notes: As it name say, this strategy is focused on the writing of notes by the student. EXAMPLE: give the student a sheet with the theme "Simple present" and then ask them to trespass on their notebooks with their own words
Concept Mapping: This strategy is helped by the construction of maps on which the info it's structured in a simple manner making them easy to understand EXAMPLE: Present a class and ask the students to take notes, once finished, asked them to organize their notes on a map.
Inferencing: This strategy stands on using what you know on your favor to learns something different. EXAMPLE: Once your students are well prepared on the theme "Animals" their can, by themselves infer on which of them are "Domestic animals" and which are "Wild animals"
Discriminating: This strategy stands on the distinguish that a student can make between the main idea and information. EXAMPLE: As we talk of a topic the student will have to distinguish what is the main idea, and which are the supporting ideas.
Diagraming: By the use of this strategy we can organize your ideas into some diagram to make them easier to make a relation. EXAMPLE: Presenting a sheet with the theme "Simple Past" and ask the students to organize the info into a diagram.
Interpersonal
Cooperating:By this strategy the students will make a feedback on the knowledge of another students and they will learn from each other. EXAMPLE: Make grupal expositions so the students can share their knowledge with their mates.
Role-Playing: This strategy is focused on the interpretation of somebody else. EXAMPLE: Make groups of two students and ask them to pretend a job interview to improve on speaking.
Linguistic
Conversational Patterns: This strategy is focused on the use of conversations through expressions. EXAMPLE: Make students dramatize a situation where this expressions can be applied.
Practicing: This strategy focuses on the importance of the practice, and make it the first resource to develop skills. EXAMPLE: Present a sheet with verbs to the student, and start to practice the pronunciation of each one.
Using context: This strategy uses the conceptualizing on the context of the student. EXAMPLE: For the learning on some new words first we need to give this words a context on the student's daily life, and it will be easy to relationate and further on these topics.
Summarizing: This strategy serves from the summary of the contents on one text by using just the major parts of each point. EXAMPLE: Present a sheet which includes a summary on the "verb tenses"
Selective Listening: This strategy is developed by the listening of some audios without the intention of understand every word, but taking attention on the most important parts. EXAMPLE: Listen to a recorded conversation and understand if they're talking on formal or informal speaking.
Skimming: This strategy is developed by doing a quick read just to get a general idea from the text. EXAMPLE: Give a sheet to the students to give it a quick read and identify the main character on the tale.
Affective.
Personalizing: This strategy depends on the thoughts of each student, and by the development of it the student will be able to develop what they have in mind. EXAMPLE: Present a video to the students that shows a person in a complicated situation, then ask them to write a tip to help that person to go through that hard time.
Self-Evaluating: This strategy reflects on the own perception that the student have on his strongness and weakness. EXAMPLE: Make the students do oral presentations on different topics, then ask them to self evaluate themselves.
Reflecting: This strategy lays on the self-perception of each student on what he thinks he serves the best to learn. EXAMPLE: After teaching a new topic ask the students for what they think it will serve better for them to understand.
Creative
Brainstorming: This strategy is developed by creating as many ideas as the students can. EXAMPLE: As we learn about jobs ask the students to write down as many jobs as they know.
