If styles are general characteristics that differentiate one individual from another, then strategies are those specific “attacks” that we make on a given problem, and that vary considerably within each individual. They are the momentby-moment techniques that we employ to solve “problems” posed by second language input and output. Chamot (2005, p. 112) defines strategies quite broadly as “procedures that facilitate a learning task. Strategies are most often conscious and goal driven.”
As our knowledge of second language acquisition increased markedly during the 1970s, teachers and researchers came to realize that no single research finding and no single method of language teaching would usher in an era of universal success in teaching a second language. We saw that certain learners seemed to be successful regardless of methods or techniques of teaching. We began to see the importance of individual variation in language learning.
Certain people appeared to be endowed with abilities to succeed; others lacked those abilities. This observation led Rubin (1975) and Stern (1975) to describe “good” language learners in terms of personal traits, styles, and strategies.
Rubin (Rubin & Thompson, 1982) later summarized fourteen such characteristics. Among other abilities, good language learners tend to:
1. Find their own way, taking charge of their learning
2. Be creative and develop a “feel” for the language by experimenting with its grammar and words
3. Make their own opportunities for practice in using the language inside and outside the classroom
4. Learn to live with uncertainty by continuing to talk or listen without understanding every word
5. Use linguistic knowledge, including knowledge of their first language, in learning a second language
6. Use contextual cues to help them in comprehension
7. Learn to make intelligent guesses
8. Learn chunks of language as wholes and formalized routines to help them perform “beyond their competence”
9. Learn different styles of speech and writing and learn to vary their language according to the formality of the situation.

- Aos itens de 1 a 9 estão no modo imperativo porque se referem a orientações do professor com respeito ao bom uso de estratégias de aprendizagem.
- Bo primeiro parágrafo está no ‘simple present’ porque o autor pretende sugerir que seu ponto de vista é amplamente aceito pela comunidade acadêmica.
- Co fragmento do primeiro parágrafo “Chamot (2005) defines strategies” está inadequado, porque tempo verbal e referência bibliográfica são incompatíveis.
- Do primeiro parágrafo está no ‘simple present’ porque traz definições para o termo estratégias, e definições são consideradas conceitos relativamente permanentes.
- Eo segundo parágrafo está predominantemente no ‘simple past’ porque apresenta a visão sobre estratégias em anos anteriores à publicação de Rubin & Thompson.
