Why are language learning strategies important? They are important because when students take the steps to learn new strategies it can enhance their own learning. According to Rebecca L. Oxford, "much of the responsibility for success at language learning rests with individual learners and their ability to take full advantage of opportunitites to learn." So how can teachers assist students in acquiring new strategies? Teachers can help students by making them more aware of their learning style preferences and assist them in being more strategic in their own learning practices, according to Andrew Cohen, Professor at the University of Minnesota. Once teachers are aware of their students' style preferences, teachers can design activities that will encourage students to "stretch" into a new learning style, says Cohen. This is called "style stretching."
