'LEARNING HOW TO LEARN' IN THE STUDY OF ESL

This paper hopes to disseminate the teaching of learning strategies in ESL as a means to 'learning how to learn'. The rationale for the teaching of learning how to learn in ESL is to help students to be effective learners and to be autonomous in their learning. The paper also identifies the specific strategies relevant to ESL, learning - memory strategies, cognitive strategies and metacognitive strategies.
