- to develop insight into and awareness of learners' strategies, - to provide realistic, professional tasks that enable teachers to develop a strategy training programme for his/her class or school, - to enable teachers to develop their ability to evaluate strategy training activities, - to demonstrate appropriate understanding and use of terminology to describe strategy training.
Strategy Training strand: Cognitive, Metacognitive, Social and Communicative learning strategies. Methodology: The Strategy Training strand is self-contained and consists of three sessions, distributed once a month. Each three-hour includes a variety of tasks which aim at developing a number of skills and strategies that will allow them to help learners become aware of and apply the variety of processes they can use to learn how to learn. Traditionally, teachers have tended to concentrate on imparting knowledge and skills, and have neglected the teaching of how to learn. Of late there has been some interest in learner training in second and foreign language teaching, which is concerned with ways of teaching learners explicitly the techniques of learning a language, and an awareness of how and when to use strategies to enable them to become self-directed. This strand aims at exploring how teachers can introduce learner training in their classrooms.
