Learning Strategies

Whatever the strategies emphasized, learned, and used, it is generally agreed that they should be taught through explicit instruction, careful modeling, and scaffolding.

• Mentally active learners are better learners
• Learning strategies can be taught
• Learning strategies transfer to new tasks
• Academic language learning is more effective with learning strategies
