Foreign Language Learning Strategies

Paper Summary:

This paper explains many different methods, which students can use independently, that focus on principles such as motivation, gender, age group, and other factors. The author points out that self-learning is an interesting practice because it is a more natural way of learning a language. The paper demonstrates that the theory behind employing one of these strategies is that there are many words in a language that may be used as triggers to learn newer and related words.

From the Paper:

"Associating the appropriate foreign word that matches the picture is a motivating exercise. In addition to this exercise being carried out in the classroom, students may attempt the same strategy at home. They may collect a number of cutouts from magazines and group them up. They may even paste them in a book and label them with the appropriate words."
