1-Thinking Strategies:

Grouping:

Putting things in groups and in order helps you to

build a framework for learning. Grouping also

reflects the way your brain organizes

information.

For example, you can group vocabulary words

together according to categories like furniture,

animals, office equipment, etc.

Using mind maps is one type of grouping.

Imagery

This means making pictures in your mind to help

you remember things. For example a 'hamburger

paragraph'.

2-Speaking Strategies:

Questions for clarification

This means talking to English-speakers and

asking for them to repeat, paraphrase

(summarize in different words), explain or give

examples. You can say:

Repeat: "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that, can you

say that again?"

Paraphrase: "I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you

mean. Can you tell me again?"

Explain: "Could you explain that for me?"

Examples: "Could you give me an example?"

Recording yourself

Record yourself speaking, either on your own,

or with other people. Later you can review the

recording, listen for problems such as saying

"Um" too much, and research anything that you

didn't know how to say

Practice speaking English

In CILL you can join the SAP to do this with

a teacher. The English club also runs the Big

Mouth Corner for speaking practice.

Sing

You can sing English songs that you like, either

alone, or with friends; e.g. karaoke.

Act

You can join a drama club or group that puts on

English plays. The ELC has a Drama club

Imagine

Imaging that you are in a situation where you

need to speak English; e.g. as a character you

like in a movie. Try to imagine what you would

say. Do you know what to say? If you are not

sure, you can research it later.

3-Pronunciation Strategies:

Repetition:

You can repeat a word out loud or silently to

practice pronunciation. Be careful to listen to a

model to make sure that you pronunciation is

correct.

Sound:

This means remembering English sounds by

using sounds in your own language. For

example, the English sound / i: /is very similar

to the Chinese sound of the word that means

'one'.

4-Writing Strategies:

Note-Taking:

it's a good idea to write down the main ideas,

important points, an outline or a summary of a

topic.

Organization:

You can use a mind-map, organization tool or

pros and cons calculator to help you organize

the information.

Proof-Reading:

you can use this program to automatically check

for some common mistakes.

Peer-Viewing

ask a friend to read your text and comment on it.

Do they understand it? Can they suggest any

improvements?

To-do list

write a list of 10 specific problems you have with

your writing. Put them in order of seriousness or

resolvability. Work on the highest priority problems

until you solve them. When you have solved

them, cross them out, and add new problems to

the bottom of the list.

5-Reading Strategies:

Transfer

This means using ideas that you already have to

make learning easier. For example, if you know

that a paragraph (like a hamburger) usually has

an introduction, a middle containing supporting

detail, and a conclusion.

You can use this knowledge to skim (read very

quickly, by missing out non-important

information, to understand the general topic) a

text because you know that you only have to read

the introduction and conclusion of both the whole

text and the paragraphs.

Translation:

You can read a story in a newspaper in your own

language first, then read the same story in an

English newspaper. Most of the story will

probably be the same, so the story in your own

language will help you to prepare for reading in

English.

For example, it will give you vocabulary, and

when you read the English story and there is

some vocabulary that you don't know, then you

can use your knowledge of the story to guess

what the new vocabulary is.

Inference:

You can also use the strategy of reading a

newspaper story in your own language first for

prediction. You can predict the contents of the

same story in an English newspaper. Reading

to confirm your predictions is easier than reading

with no background information. Click here for

more information on reading newspapers.

Prediction:

As well as predicting from newspaper stories in

your own language, you can predict from your

knowledge of the world, you knowledge of how

people think, write and talk, and your

knowledge of what the writer is like.

For example, if you are reading a book it is a

good idea to read about the author and the

contents (on the cover or at the front of the

book) to help you make predictions about what

he or she believes.

6-Listening Strategies:

Physical Response

You can listen to instructions about how to do

something, and follow the instructions. Relating

sounds to movements helps you remember the

sounds. So does listening to the sounds many

times and repeating the movements. For example

you can buy an English fitness video and listen

and follow the instructions, and get fit at the same

time.

Prediction:

You can predict what someone is going to say by

the topic of the conversation and your knowledge

of that person's opinions. Listening to confirm

what you predict is easier than listening and trying

to understand everything.

For example, if you are watching a film or TV

program about lawyers, you can predict that the

defense lawyer will say that his client is "Not

guilty.", and give reasons. Here are some phrases

and predictions about the words that will follow:

"I think" + an opinion.

"I'm afraid that " + bad news.

"Next," + another topic or point.

"Finally," + a last topic or point.

"But" + disagreement.

Preparation:

you can listen to the news in your own language,

then listen to it in English. Listening in your own

language will help to predict what topics and

vocabulary will be in the English news

7-Grammar Strategies:

Deduction:

This means using rules to work out the answer or

how to do something. It is especially useful for

grammar, for example Rule:

To change normal speech to reported speech;

eg. for writing minutes of a meeting, move the

tenses back one past tense.

Example:

Mr. Chan - "I will see her tomorrow." Reported speech -

'Mr. Chan said that he would see her the next day.

Recombination:

This means joining together things you already

know to make new things. For example, if you

know that the simple past tense is used to

describe things that happened in the past which

have finished, and you know that the present

perfect tense is used to describe experience.

you can make a sentence that includes both :

"I first visited America in 1990. Last summer I

went there again, so I have been there twice."

Writing your own grammar book:

This can contain rules, examples

(e.g. from newspapers or magazines),

your notes (e.g. on things you don't understand),

lists of exceptions, etc.

Using new grammar:

After you learn some new grammar, use it in conversation

or writing, and see what your listener's or reader's reaction

is: do they understand you?

You can ask "Did I say that right?"

Get a grammar book:

Come to CILL or go to a bookshop and look at the different

grammar books. Choose one that you understand.

Read and Listen:

Read and listen to see how writers and speakers use

English grammar to communicate their ideas.

8-Vocabulary Strategies:

Contextualization:

This means putting new vocabulary words into

sentences to help you remember them and to test

if you are using them correctly. You can use these

sentences when talking to an English-speaker to

see if they understand.

You can write these sentences in your learner

portfolio for the tutors to see, or you can e-mail

the tutors and ask them to check these words in

your sentences. The most independent ways are

talking to an English speaker, and searching the

Internet to find examples of the word being used

in sentences.

Elaboration:

This means relating new information to information you

already know. For example, if you know the meaning of

'information', it is easy to remember that the verb is 'to

inform', and that 'informative' is an adjective, and that

'an informant' is someone who gives information.

Inference:

This means using available information to predict or

guess the meanings of; e.g. new vocabulary items.

For example, if you know that you are reading about

football, and you know that a field is often a large area

covered in grass, then you can guess that a football

field is a large, grassy area for playing football.

Translation:

You can read a story in a newspaper in your own

language first, then read the same story in an English

newspaper. Most of the story will probably be the same,

so the story in your own language will help you to

prepare for reading in English.

For example, it will give you vocabulary, and when

you read the English story and there is some

vocabulary that you don't know, then you can

use your knowledge of the story to guess what

the new vocabulary is.

Personalization:

You can write down why the vocabulary item

(i.e. the word or phrase) is important to you,

where you first saw it, and when you used it,

for example, you may have heard the item

in a movie you liked and used the item when

you talked about the movie with your friends.

Keeping your own dictionary:

Writing entries for the dictionary will help you

to learn words, and using your own dictionary

can be faster than a normal dictionary.

Grouping:

You can group words into different areas, such as

words in the different courses you study.

For example, business students could group

vocabulary items into marketing vocabulary,

accounting vocabulary, and human resources

vocabulary.

Translation:

You can read a story in a newspaper in your own

language first, then read the same story in an

English newspaper. Most of the story will probably

be the same, so the story in your own language

will help you to prepare for reading in English.
