 Learning Strategy Training (LST) is training students in use of learning strategies in order to improve their learning effectiveness.

 Teacher’s job is not only to teach lang. but learning.  Strategies should not be taught in isolation, but rather as part of the content-area or language curriculum.  Help learners to continue to learn after completing formal study of the target language.

 Use to plan, monitor and evaluate a learning task.  Arrange the conditions that help one to learn.  Set long and short-term goals.  Check students comprehension during listening or reading.

 Learners interact and manipulate what is to be learned. e.g.: replaying a word or phrase mentally to ‘listen’ to it again. learn a new word by associating with a familiar word by creating a visual image.

 Learners interact with other persons or ‘use affective control to assist learning. e.g.: Cooperate/ work with others to share info, obtain feedback and complete a task.

Techniques of the Learning Strategy Training MModeling AAsking questions GGuessing games.

The advantages  Students can known their own strength and weakness in learning something.  Students can found their own fit strategy.  Students can improve their skill.

The disadvantages  Sometimes it is difficult to found the right strategy for all the students.  Some of the student sometimes feel not fit with the new strategy.

 Cooperative Learning is learning which basically classifies students into several groups. So the students must work together in their groups.

IImprove teaching and learning through grouping students in heterogeneous groups so students can improve his or her academic strength.

1. Individual accountability. 2. Face-to-face interaction. 3. Small group skills. 4. Processing. 5. Positive interdependence.

 Students with varied learning levels work together and help each other to reach an instructional goal.  promotes peer engagement and improves concentration and encourages students to collaborate in groups together.

 Not all student like work in a group.  This learning process can’t work if the member can’t work together.

The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 in his book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In this theory, he divide intelligent become few intelligent.

1. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence -- well- developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of words 2. Mathematical-Logical Intelligence -- ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and capacity to discern logical or numerical patterns 3. Musical Intelligence -- ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch and timber 4. Visual-Spatial Intelligence -- capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize accurately and abstractly

5. Body-Kinesthetic Intelligence -- ability to control one's body movements and to handle objects skillfully 6. Interpersonal Intelligence -- capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations and desires of others. 7. Intrapersonal Intelligence -- capacity to be self- aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes 8. Naturalist Intelligence -- ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals and other objects in nature 9. Existential Intelligence -- sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.

 Students may come to regard intellectual ability more broadly.  Students will provide opportunities for authentic learning based on students' needs, interests and talents.  Students will be able to demonstrate and share their strengths.  Students begin to understand how they are intelligent.

 It's not new.  It isn't well defined.  It's culturally embedded.  It is impractical.

LLearning Strategy Training is so important for the students, because its can improve students skill and also improve the students academic success. CCooperative learning only will work well if each members can work together. MMultiple intelligences can make students aware their potential that maybe didn’t know before.
