One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are Procedures or techniques that learners can use to facilitate a learning task.
16、Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between thei
17、r use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success.

22、ier for them to learn? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques that make language learning easier for them. First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They d
23、iscover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They try to learn from their mistakes. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, they do not wait for a chance to use the language
24、. Instead they look for such a chance. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things;they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more i
25、mportant for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. Finally successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the
26、 language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practise using the language regularly because they want to learn with it. What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner,you have probably been learning independently,act
27、ively,and purposefully.
