A TAXONOMY OF STRATEGIES

Abstract

Initially, it is intended to define the significance of strategy as applied within linguistic contexts in this research paper. In the acquisition and application of a second language, learners often deploy a range of tactics directed towards enhancing their proficiency. The recognition of the significance of diverse learning strategies emerged among second language researchers in the 1970s as they explored the characteristics of the 'proficient language learner'. Examinations of adept language learners throughout the years have revealed that excellence is not solely attributable to a heightened language aptitude and motivation (to be elaborated upon in subsequent sections). Instead, the outstanding performance is also a result of learners' proactive and innovative engagement in the learning journey, facilitated by the implementation of personalized learner strategies.
