Learning strategies have been identified as the method that good
language learners use to successfully learn a language. Each learner has
a set repertoire of strategies that they use despite the learning
context. Adults and young adults transfer learning strategies from their
previous learning contexts to language learning. But to what extent will
such strategies help them attain success in language learning? This book
offers a view of three interesting aspects of strategy use. The first
one is the transfer of general learning strategies to language learning.
The second is the effect that such strategies have in language
achievement. The third aspect explores the teaching of strategies, the
adoption and inclusion of such strategies in the learners' repertoire
and their effect on language achievement.
