Kuma Ch6

Kuma's Ch 6 goes really well with the discussion we had as a class on Tuesday. I want to touch up on the topic of learning how to learn again. In high school I felt that I had no organized pattern of learning. If I did have a strategy for learning I would use it for every subject that I had. Once I came to college I came to understand the importance of implementing affective learning strategies. It took me about a sememster of college but I found out what strategy I needed for each subject.

We touched upon this last class meeting but I want to reemphasize the importance how teachers of atleast the high school level should explicitly or inexplicitly begin to teach students how to learn. Also as ESL teachers we must be aware that some strategies of learning may not fit with everly SLL. We should show and incorporate learning strategies into the framework of the classroom. We must also be aware is it is not working effectively and show a new way that might work better
