|
Among learning characteristics for L2 learners , language learning strategies are one characteristic that has the potential of being influenced by language instruction . This report attempts to review the most salient research and taxonomies for LLS to provide a comprehensive overview for those who would like to teach , learn , or conduct more research in the field . It records various definitions that have been assigned to LLS and traces the history of LLS research that has accumulated over the past thirty years . It also reviews empirical research that has been conducted by applying certain taxonomies to find relationships between other learner characteristics . Finally , it looks into ways that LLS can be applied to the four language skills : reading , listening , speaking , and writing , and discusses research designed to analyze the effectiveness of Strategy Based Instruction for the specific skills . The concluding section finds particular avenues for further research and application of LLS . |
