As we have known, learning strategies are a common topic of language learning. But what are learning strategies? They are the methods that learners choose to learn. Here are several examples of language learning strategies.

Guess a new word’s meaning in the sentence. This is a basic language skill for students. There is an example: When you first meet the new English word “insist”, you can guess its meaning in the sentence, “His mother didn’t allow him to go with us, but he insisted on coming with us.”

Cooperate with partners. Work with other language learners to improve language skills. When you need to practice spoken English and try to have a real communication, you’d better find a partner to work in group.

Know about background knowledge before reading. Try to find more information about the passage and its writer. It is useful for us to understand the main idea, writing purpose and also the feelings of the writer.

Make a note of what you should improve. It is more important to know where you are but not what you know. In this way, you can find what you need to improve and further find a way to improve your study. This is also the most important ability for self-study.

It’s important for learners to know about different strategies. In fact, more able learners use different kinds of learning strategies.
