RESULTS OF RESEARCH ON
LEARNING STRATEGIES
Metacognitive strategies
+ Cognitive strategies
= Successful learning
Social strategies
+ Affective strategies
= Successful learning
In the L2 field
Effectiveness: Improved L2 proficiency
Orchestration: Skilled L2 learners select
strategies that work well together and that
are tailored to the requirements of the
language task.
Less successful learners: the use of
mundane strategies such as translation,
rote memorization, and repetition
INFLUENCE ON STRATEGY
USE
More motivated L2 students typically used
more strategies than less motivated
students, whether in intensive classrooms,
regular classrooms (Oxford, 1989; Oxford
& Nyikos, 1989; Oxford, Park-Oh,
Ito,&Sumrall, 1993).
Engineering students, for instance, chose
learning strategies that were more analytic
than those selected by humanities students.
