A good language learner is independent, willing to take risks and able to reflect on their learning. How can we foster these characteristics in our young learners? In this talk, we will look at how to raise awareness of learning strategies in Primary learners, from age 4 upwards, by encouraging them to think about their learning and take more responsibility for their own progress.
