Impact of Teaching Language Learning Strategies on
Learning English as Additional Language

Fareeha Javed, Ph.D.

Abstract

Trends in teaching and learning of English as Additional Language (EAL) have undergone a great transformation during the last century. The focus of English Language teachers is turning towards empowering their students to become independent learners beyond the classroom. Language educators have started realising the close link between language learning and content instruction. This concern has led to the adoption of content and language integrated instruction in English. It is widely believed today that content and language integrated learning (CLIL) instruction helps in improving the teaching/learning of EAL at all levels. Teaching and learning context has also gained the attention of English language researchers and teachers. Context is considered to be one of the pivotal factors in learning another language. Over the period of past three decades, researchers have developed several practical theories and models that establish links between curriculum concepts and EAL learning. Over time, teaching strategies being used in EAL classrooms have not only improved but are now given more importance in successful EAL teaching and learning. The current Literature Review focuses on the topic of teaching language learning strategies in teaching/learning EAL at Higher education level both internationally and in Pakistan.

Keywords: English as additional language (EAL), teaching language learning strategies, higher education, Pakistan

Introduction

Trends in teaching and learning of English as Additional Language (EAL) have undergone a great transformation during the last century. The focus of English language teachers is turning towards empowering their students to become independent learners beyond the classroom (Troncale, 2002). Language educators have started realising the close link between language learning and content instruction (Lessow-Hurley, 2000). This concern has led to the adoption of content and language integrated learning instruction (CLIL) in English. It is widely believed today that content and language integrated learning instruction helps in improving the teaching/learning of EAL at all levels (Madrid & Sanchez, 2001).
