This is the method used in schools and colleges. A meta-cognitive approach can complement effective learning strategies. Planning and goal setting for language learning tasks, information gathering, and organizing materials, arranging a study space and a schedule, monitoring mistakes, and evaluating task success. Meta-cognitive strategies focus on identifying on a more holistic approach taken individual needs into consideration. When used in conjunction with a memory-related strategy it can be a powerful language learning strategy. Watching body language to put foreign language into context by paying close attention to gestures or pause words help the learner make up for missing knowledge. Using synonyms and“ talking around” the missing word to aid strictly for speaking. Listening and reading are used to get hints from this strategy.
The compensatory strategy is when a learner is guessing the context to understand the content of what is being learned. Each learning style heads a little different direction to learn cognitively All learning styles can benefit from these methods.
Likewise reorganizing information to develop knowledge structures. Learning in a cognitive manner enables the learner to manipulate language learning materials indirect ways via reasoning, analysis, note-taking, summarizing, synthesizing, outlining. As a tactile or kinesthetic learner, you may find writing the language out or using flashcards work best. The audio learner can listen to a podcast on language. Visual learners can do this by reading a language book. To achieve this you need to encode the foreign words you are learning. As I mentioned, each learner has their style and because of this, their study habits take them little different direction to learn cognitively.įor example, when starting to learn a language it starts with the sensory register (which only takes seconds), then it is passed into short-term memory (which can take 20 seconds to 2minutes), then if the word is rehearsed it should end up in the long-term memory. To be a cognitive language learner one of those task spots will have to be dedicated to language learning. The average person can manage up to 3 small tasks at a time and 1 complex task at a time. In order to learn, you must be attentive.
