A importância das estratégias de aprendizagem no ensino de língua estrangeira.

Abstract

This study investigates learning strategies used in foreign language teaching in three language schools in Curitiba. For this objective to be achieved we conducted a survey to indicate which learning strategies related to the ability of linguistic communication are used by students and teachers to acquire a foreign language. Emphasizing the theoretical framework developed on strategies by Rebecca Oxford (1990), the paper presents a summary of them. The research aims, therefore, at assisting teachers who intend to improve the quality of teaching and language learning in the development of communication skills. The presentation of an analysis of the significant use of learning strategies can serve as guidance for teachers to improve their methodology in accordance with what is best for students.
