ResponderEliminarI think that the strategy #19, it is the most entertaining and efficient for me but at the moment I can only talk with 2 native speakers

EliminarDiscover a methodology for practicing the language that I genuinely enjoy and can consistently use. Was the strategy I chose. It took my attention because is a strategy that take in count our likes and our emotions at the time that we are learning a new skill or a nee topic in a new language.
ResponderEliminarIt liked me because they are useful strategies that we can use in our diary life and also we can apply them for being able to improve our process of learning a new language.
Cognitive strategies and social/affective strategies are the ones I identify with the most because they talk about how the learner can encourage themselves with their own learning, taking into account what they have learnt and putting it to the test in terms of things they would like to be doing, that is why it is so important to take into account the likes and dislikes and the ways in which one learns faster; then learn a bit more with social networks, where you can find a variety of vocabulary that you can then put into practice.
ResponderEliminarThese steps to improve English are complete and practical, integrating diverse methods such as interacting with native speakers, practicing speaking to yourself, and immersing yourself in cultural aspects. Setting clear goals, such as taking mock tests and participating in presentations, can significantly increase confidence and language proficiency.
ResponderEliminarThese strategies are useful for learning a language. These of all strategies involve all the skills that we have to practice to learn. It's interesting the way that technologies can helps us to learn and all this tools can improve our language learning process.
ResponderEliminarI chose the step number seven since it's one that fits me in my own style, I always change the materials or the or the skills that I want to improve every day and I love practicing in an specific to me of my free days

ResponderEliminarI do not Accord with having houndreds of strats and the cuantity of things to learn on each one ,you can learn More than 10 songs in two hours, but yeah it depends on each one process.
They work but as a tool for the main process itself and not as the main way to learn, it is necessary to focus on studying not in secondary strats, but they deserve Time and motivation
I think that the steps provided by teachers are courses of action for students to have better access to their learning achievements.
ResponderEliminarThese are needs that we, as students, can adapt to a methodology. Learning by step 15 and others are of improvement for each student.
My general thought about these strategies, is that some of them may be really useful depending on which context each pearson is on by. But almost the entire strategies can get summarized into motivation, use of resources and discipline, but about this last one it's uncertain if it's really the scope of these strategies. I may apply them in my personal life, but synthesized. Buy my biggest issue with these ideas is the people who "try to apply them" as they would do anything to learn but study. We have to be opened to put ourselves in it.
ResponderEliminarI think the most interesting and unreassuring strategies could be social strategies, because these conversations with new people could be a lot of fun.
ResponderEliminarI consider all of the learning strategies mentioned previously are important for learning a new language but I think that not all students will practice these activities maybe some of they use only one, so identifying the different learning processes and likes is also part of the process. Moreover in my point of view motivation is important factor when is about learning languages, I think that if the learners set short-term goals, it can be more rewarding to achieve them.
ResponderEliminarSuccessful person who wants to improve his learning relate with autonomous learning should be reflecting person along with monitoring learner sometimes learning are made by environment teaching or socio- linguistics aspects as a result overcomes settings are not as people expected, using lots strategies personally while reflecting learning i apply features on my interest as a autonomous learner.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, all of these strategies are of great help when it comes to wanting to learn, personally I identify a lot with the Goal-setting strategies since they are the ones that I feel I have come to apply in my daily life and they have helped me to improve.
ResponderEliminarWell, after reading the strategy about autonomy learnings, I identify with listening to a different podcast twice a week. It functioned well for me. On the other hand, the part that said 'Watch three movies in English without subtitles, previously seen in Spanish' doesn't work for me because I usually fall asleep during movies.
ResponderEliminarPersonally, there are various strategies that I frequently use in order to learn better and get more informal vocabulary such as idioms. I enjoys re watching shows that I had already seen in Spanish, listening to podcast and also following different accounts in social media that are dedicated to produce content in English, in that way I practice meta cognitive skills and I improve at the same time!
ResponderEliminarWell, I guess that all of these strategies are great for helping the autonomous learning of the students. Personally, I prefer the goal setting approach, and I try to follow social media accounts that try to teach languages, but the strategy that I have used for a long time was learning with songs.
ResponderEliminarI agree with you. All of these strategies are important for the different needs of the students and to improve their autonomous learning. However, I take a little bit of each strategy if it helps me learn better, for example I listen to music in English, listen to podcasts and watch subtitled movies. These and many other strategies have helped me to learn a new language independently.
EliminarAfter reading the strategy on independent learning, I identify with Learning a new song in English every week. It worked well for me, as I learn new vocabulary. Also, following social media accounts or channels related to teaching or practicing the language helps me learn grammar and everyday situations.
ResponderEliminarI prefer practice My speaking skills by means of calls or speak alone It help me speak better
ResponderEliminarI consider that all those tips and tools for autonomus learning are important however I think that if we don't implement and stablish a specific goals , so it's very important the energy and enthusiasm of every learner
ResponderEliminarFor me is easier learn with songs because I am a music lover I can obtain a lot of knowledge with a lot of topics and I complement my process with apps for learning languages, I search music similar to the topic I study before.
ResponderEliminarI really enjoy to use the social media (22) for practicing English, I like to scroll on tik tok and watching accounts and videos related to vocabulary or grammar in English. I also enjoy to watch series or movies in English to improve vocabulary and listening
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, I agree with all tips because are important for the way to learn. In my case I prefer learn with social media, listen to music, watch movies with subtitles because I can improve my skills. Other thing that I do to my practice my English is speak with my partners is funny.
ResponderEliminarPersonally I think this text is a great plan to improve English skills by reading English news twice a week, following social media accounts focused on language learning, and taking online mock tests to assess proficiency and track progress.
ResponderEliminarsince I started learning English, the audiovisual media have always worked for me as I feel that it helps me to develop the different skills needed in my learning process
ResponderEliminarI think it’s a very complete plan, as it includes different types of strategies like metacognitive, cognitive, social/affective, and goal-setting strategies. These strategies not only help us learn the language but also encourage us to genuinely enjoy English, which I think is very important for building confidence and motivation.
ResponderEliminarThe goal-setting strategies, like watching movies without subtitles, listening to podcasts, and reading English news, seem very effective to create a regular practice habit. I also like the social/affective strategies, as they help us practice English with other people, which is very important for improving fluency. Another idea I find interesting is setting small rewards, like having a coffee after reading the news in English; it’s a nice way to make practice enjoyable.
I believe that if I use these strategies regularly, I can improve my English and learn in a more independent way. I would like to hear your advice on how to integrate these strategies into my study routine to get better results.
