The Training Of Learning Strategy In Intensive Reading Of ELT

This thesis attempts to explore the role of incorporating strategy training in classroom English teaching. It aims at helping English language teachers to find a new breakthrough in their efforts to improve language teaching and learning efficiently. The research findings have shown that learning strategies and strategy training do facilitate students' learning. They enable students to develop proper learning attitude, enhance motivation, adjust learning strategies, and increase their confidence.The writer of this thesis only makes a tentative study of the role of learning strategies of Chinese EFL learners in classroom setting from a theoretical point of view. For the "student-centered and strategy-based" principle of classroom instruction she is going to do more researches to provide a practical and instructive teaching model with more detailed descriptions in the future.An important implication, we believe, is that EFL teachers should have a better understanding of the training of use. The appropriate use of learning strategies not only promotes learners' language learning effectiveness, but also is transferred to the learning of other subjects, and learning in general, so the learners can develop toward the attainment of the abilities of life-long learning. It is important to improve language learners' meta-cognition and train their strategy use in order to use learning strategy more appropriately and effectively. Thus, the learners become autonomous in their learning and are able to learn under various circumstances.This paper consists of five chapters. The first chapter is the general introduction of the whole thesis. The second chapter makes an exposition of the basic theory of learning strategies, including their definitions, classifications. It is the theoretical basis of the thesis. The third chapter discusses some factors influencing the learning strategies establishment. Chapter four is the most important part of the whole thesis. An empirical study on learning strategy use of non-English majors and analysis of Chinese EFL learner's learning strategies are conducted here. Chapter five analyzes the goals, steps of strategy training and approaches to strategy training. And the necessity for learning strategies training is discussed. Meanwhile the writer also discusses the learning strategies that are suitable for the intensive reading of ELT, and how to train the students to use the strategies properly. The six chapter studies pedagogical implications and chapter seven concludes the whole paper.
