Abstract:
As it is known, there are three types of learning strategies which are called metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, and social/affective strategies. They are defined as thoughts or activities that assist in enchancing learning outcomes. Strategies by definition are probably performed with awareness, or else they would not be strategic, although the same mental operations can be performed without awareness once they are proceduralized and have the same beneficial results with learning. (Chamot, A.U., O’ Malley, J.M. (Eds.), (1992), “The CALLA Handbook”, “Types of Learning Strategies”, p.60) In this study, the place of learning strategies will be demonstrated in learning and teaching a foreign language.
