Raising General Awareness of Language Learning Strategies: A Little Bit Goes a Long Way.

Flaitz, Jeffra; And Others

Hispania, v78 n2 p337-48 May 1995

A group of college-level Spanish students received metacognitive awareness raising--a single session that, by means of brainstorming, involved students in developing a general awareness of language learning strategies. Final course grades were compared across control and experimental groups, revealing significantly higher scores for the latter. (25 references) (Author/CK)
