ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on what strategy instruction is and the ways that learners can be exposed to it, starting with a broad-ranging discussion of the various forms it can take and then considering the possible roles that teachers and learners themselves can play. It also discusses a variety of approaches to providing student-directed language learning and language use strategy instruction. The chapter provides strategies for a particular grammar form and entails strategies for enhancing our grammar strategy repertoire. The ultimate goal of strategy instruction is to promote learner autonomy and learner self-direction by allowing students to choose their own strategies and to do so spontaneously, without continued prompting from the language teacher. The chapter ends with attention given to roles that language teachers might wish to consider assuming in the classroom if people are interested in enhancing their learner's repertoire of strategies through strategy instruction.
