Raising Learner Awareness of Language Learning Strategies in Situations of Limited Resources

This paper introduces LSLS, an interactive learning environment to raise learner awareness of language learning strategies. Strategies of potential interest to a student are suggested based on (i) the students learning style; and (ii) similarities between new strategies and strategies already used by the individual. LSLS is intended primarily for use in contexts where resources are limited. An initial study suggests that learners will find many of the strategy recommendations useful.
