Language Learning & Teaching Strategies: Brown & Nation Framework

In language education, strategies are essential tools that support learning and teaching. Brown (2007) and

Nation (2001) describe two major types: strategies used by learners (to acquire language), and strategies

used by teachers (to facilitate language learning). Both are necessary for an effective classroom.

Learner Strategies Teacher Strategies

- Repeating aloud - Modeling pronunciation

- Guessing meaning from context - Providing scaffolds (e.g., sentence frames)

- Using word maps - Using realia and visuals

- Seeking feedback - Giving immediate feedback

- Keeping a vocabulary journal - Designing problem-solving tasks

Why balance both?

Learners benefit most when strategies are taught explicitly, modeled, and supported by teachers-especially

when they align with psychological and pedagogical approaches such as Behaviorism, Cognitivism,

Humanism, and the Communicative Approach.
