Hi everybody!!! How are you? This time I want to share with you something that you may know but perhaps you are not conscious about it. Can you tell me what teaching strategies do you use in a classroom? do you know how many kinds of strategies are there?

First of all, there are two assumptions. All four skills are important and deserve special attention and action and learning strategies help students to develop each of the skills.

There are two kinds of strategies:


What's the difference? even though both of them are apllied for the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and it is better if they are applied together, direct strategies involve the new language directly and are used to develop each of the four skills.

Indirect strategies provide indirect support for language learning through focusing, seeking opportunities, controlling anxiety and other means. These strategies will help students be aware of learning and they will also be able to use/apply these strategies when they are studying for a test or when they are revising. Some of the activities that students do perhaps every day are indirect strategies.. so what teachers should do is help them to recognize those strategies and explain how they can use them.

We (teachers) have to be aware of these strategies so we guide and help our students. What do you think? Do you use some of these activities in your classrooom? How?
