Strategies in foreign language learning

'''Strategies in modern foreign language teaching

Les strategies dans l'enseignement des langues modernes'''

Possible breakdown for PHZH Phase 08

1. What do we do on the level of the preservice teacher? Jabberwocky exercise



2. What do we do on the level of the school child?

3. Are there any language specific strategies (eg. French, English, Italian)?

4. Are there any level specific strategies (things that lower-elementary kids are not ready for that upper-elementary and secondary students are)?

5. Does language awareness play a role here? (eg. encouraging kids to think about what they know in another language helps them decode a text).

6. What’s the difference between language awareness and metalinguistic awareness? Does strategy building enhance these?
