Learning Strategies
【正确答案】:Learning strategies are the techniques used by learners for remembering and organizing samples of the target language. There are four main classes of learning strategy:
1) Cognitive strategies, involving the manipulation or transformation of the learning materials (e.g. repetition, summarizing, using images);
2) Metacognitive strategies, involving higher-order strategies aimed at analyzing, monitoring, evaluating, planning, and organizing one's own learning processes;
3) Social strategies, involving interpersonal behaviors aimed at increasing the amount of the target language communication and practice the learner undertakes (e.g. initiating interaction with native speakers, cooperating with peers);
4) Affective strategies, involving taking control of the emotional conditions and experiences that shape one's subjective involvement in learning.
