OXFORD APPLIED LINGUISTICS: LANGUAGE LEARNER STRATEGIES

Research into language learner strategies has the fundamental goal of improving the teaching and learning of second languages. This book explores the notion that the reason some learners of second languages excel and others struggle lies in what the learners themselves do-the strategies they bring to language learning and to language use.
