  1. GV1244 Characteristics of LLS

  2. Put Your Thinking Cap Why do learners employ language learning strategies? Are language learning strategies observable? Can language learning strategies be taught?

  3. Wenden (1987) 1. Language learning strategies refer to specific actions or techniques; they are not features which describe a learner’ broad language learning approach (e.g. deep, surface).

  4. Wenden (1987) 2. Some of the learning strategies will be observable; whereas, others will not be observable.

  5. Wenden (1987) 3. Strategies are problem oriented, that is, learners use them to respond to a learning need.

  6. Wenden (1987) 4. Language learning strategies can contribute directly or indirectly to learning.

  7. Wenden (1987) 5. Although these strategies may be consciously deployed, they can become automatized after a prolonged period.

  8. Wenden (1987) 6.Learning strategies are behaviours which are amendable to change (can be taught).

  9. Oxford (1990) 1. LLS contribute to the main goal of communicative competence.

  13. Oxford (1990) 5. LLS are action basis.

  14. Oxford (1990) 6. LLS involve many aspects of the learner, not just cognitive.

  15. Oxford (1990) 7. LLS support learning both directly and indirectly.

  16. Oxford (1990) 8. LLS are not always observable.

  17. Oxford (1990) 9. LLS are often conscious, but can become automatic.

  18. Oxford (1990) 10. LLS are teachable.

  19. Oxford (1990) 11. LLS are flexible.
