Learning and Problem Solving Strategies of ESL Students
The mathematics problem solving approaches of a group of elementary and secondary ESL students were investigated through a performance assessment accompanied by think-aloud procedures. Students were enrolled in ESL mathematics classes in a Title VII project implementing the Cognitive Academic Learning Approach (CALLA). In this approach, curriculum content is used to develop academic language and learning strategies are taught explicitly to increa…
Learning Strategies in Second Language Acquisition
O'Malley and Chamot review the literature on learning strategies, describe and classify learning strategies in second language learning, and discuss why learning is affected in a positive manner when such strategies are used. The authors present instructional models for learning-strategy training that teachers can apply to their own classes. The material is based on current research in second language acquisition and cognitive theory.
Listening Comprehension Strategies in Second Language Acquisition
Listening comprehension is viewed theoretically as an active process in which individuals focus on selected aspects of aural input, construct meaning from passages, and relate what they hear to existing knowledge. This theoretical view has not been sufficiently supported by direct research which clarifies what listeners actually do while engaged in listening tasks. This study focused on the mental processes second language learners use in listeni…
The cognitive academic language learning approach (calla)
The ‘Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach’ (CALLA) is designed for limited English proficient (LEP) students who are being prepared to participate in mainstream content area instruction. CALLA provides transitional instruction for upper elementary and secondary students at intermediate and advanced ESL levels. This approach furthers academic language development in English through content area instruction in science, mathematics and soci…

Learning Strategy Applications with Students of English as a Second Language
Recent research on cognition has indicated the importance of learning strategies in gaining command over second language skills. Despite these recent advancements, important research questions related to learning strategies remain to be answered. These questions concern 1) the range and frequency of learning strategy uses by students learning English as a second language (ESL) and 2) the effects of training in learning strategies on English langu…
Learning Strategies Used by Beginning and Intermediate Esl Students
This study was designed to (a) identify the range, type, and frequency of learning strategy use by beginning and intermediate level ESL students and (b) determine the types of language tasks with which the strategies tend to be associated. Students at beginning and intermediate levels in English proficiency were interviewed in small groups to determine the strategies used to assist in learning each of a number of language tasks: pronunciation, gr…
Palmar Sweating as a Function of Failure in Preschool Children
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which failure precipitates physiological arousal (palmar sweating) in kindergarten children. High interfinger and interobserver reliability were repotted on measurements of palmar sweating collected from children of varying socioeconomic, residential, and early school backgrounds; however, for none of these children did palmar sweating increase differentially contingent upon failure as cont…
