Ways of Learning

Strategies Memory - e.g. association Cognitive - e.g. translation Affective - e.g. culture Compensation - e.g.clues metacognitive - e.g. preview

Association Association - This is a memory strategy that involves associating new language information with familiar concepts already in memory. It helps strengthen comprehension as well as making new vocabulary words easier to remember.

Example of Association Pusa - hayop paaralan - estudyante sulat/liham - papel at lapis

Translation Translation - This is a cognitive strategy that allows learners to use their own native language as a basis for understanding what new vocabulary words in the second/foreign language. This strategy is helpful early in the language learning.

Clues Use of linguistic and other clues - This compensation strategy is utilizing previous knowledge of the second language, learner's own language, other languages learned, and other sources that are not language related to provide linguistic and other clues to the meaning of new vocabulary words.

Example of Using Clues Identifying words that you already know in a sentence and using them to know what the sentence means. –Natakot ang mga tao sa leon na nakalabas sa Zoo.

Culture Developing cultural understanding - This affective strategy provides learners a background knowledge of the culture of the speakers of the language for a better understanding of new vocabulary words.

Preview Overview and Linking with Already Known Material- This metacognitive strategy involves previewing new vocabulary words for upcoming language activity and linking these with what the learners already know.
