CONCLUSIONS
1. As a teacher we have to show our students all
kind of strategies in order to offer them the
better one which fits with their learning style.
2. Even the strategies are classified under
different names, the important thing the
content of that one.
3. Under my opinion is important to follow the
SSBI once a year, at least as a guide. The
teacher will be informed about how she/he can
+ teach the some strategies to her/his students.
