Types of Learning Strategies

Overall it's almost mandatory that a teacher can pick up on what is known as "Learning Strategies" not only is it in the best interest of the teacher but for the student as well. For example, there's a three step categories phase that's ideal for mankind and they are as follows: metacognitive, cognitive, and social strategies. These are on the forefront of any learning institute but let's delve deeper into each meaning. Metacognitive strategies organize a student’s thought process regarding learning. I like this one, cognitive strategy allows for means of practicing and manipulation. Third---the social strategies which involves social interaction and affective approaches.

Activity

Name nine learning types and give examples of each strategy.

 

Put each leaning type into its appropriate learning strategy group (metacognitive, social cognitive, and social strategy).

The Power House of English

The perception of technology that we see, we hear about, we use, and we face are a direct interaction of how we view society but what of the ones who are seen as 100% anti-technology?  I’m a graduate student and I see the knowledge of technology is a must have asset. This skill set is a prerequisite to me obtaining a rewarding career choice rather than finding a job. Although technology is all around us the use of social media is racing across the globe at alarming speeds. Too many people imagine the concept of English grammar as a bad omen, most depicts that it brings about deceit and aims towards perfection (at least if used in the proper tense).  Although English is sought to be one of the most critical languages to learn in the world many have tried and have fallen victim to the sanction of its power but like many other languages English has a foundation of complex simplicity.
