Learning strategies The different techniques which students develop as they learn the target language.

Examples:
  • writing grammatical rules
  • working out their own rules (see Heuristics)
  • organizing vocabulary into lexical sets.
  • practising the language on chat-lines or face to face with speakers of the language
Learning strategies are a key part of Learner training, which itself is a concept closely related to Learner autonomy.
