Strategies of language learning and analysis of its actuality in case of Georgian,
as the way of improvement the second language learning
ABSTRACT
Learning strategy and their utilization is the constant process that is employed by the student in order to
make own language learning process and outcomes more effective. More specifically this is a process
which encompasses chain of different actions, sequent steps and techniques being fulfilled consciously and
having most significant results while acquiring second language. The learning strategies include but are not
limited by focusing on the specific aspects of received information; monitoring and analysis of acquisition
process; elaboration and organization of new information during the encoding period; evaluation of fulfilled
practice and raising confidence in effectiveness of learning as a tool to allay anxiety.
Exploring and applying of learning strategies has been prominent shift within the field of education over
the last years that pursue to transform interrelationship between the teachers and student while putting
greater emphasis on learners and learning rather than on teachers and teaching methods applying in the
classroom. Moreover, according to contemporary researches, the learning strategies and their comprehensive
usage may reduce the negative influence of and dependence on quality of textbooks, methodological
and supplementary learning materials and teachers for learning of L2 proficiently. There is rather meaningful
to consider the correlation between the choosing learning strategy and individual behavior and emotional
character of learner to comprehend correct plan for exploiting of effective strategy.
The represented research aims to describe and argue taxonomies by different researchers, study linkages
between the individual qualities of different focus groups and choice of Georgian as a L2 learning strategy.
At the same time the article analyzes an interrelationship between the strategies employed by the different
learners and concept of ‘good language learners’. And finally, the article proposes learning strategies
which are based on the study results and are appropriate for rational utilization of resources for sophisticated
outcomes in the classroom.
Growing interest in research of learning strategies is evident from 70s. One of the main reason
that’s why scientists became interested in learning strategies are the ways and methods that pupils
use in processing, memorizing and retrieving the new information about the foreign language. Scientists
are concerned to find out the driving factors that determine the success and the failure of different
learners while learning foreign language. This means to determine those factors which make
variations among different abilities of language learners. According to Williams and Burden (1997)
answers to these questions are becoming rather simpler if we analyze the importance and influence of
distinctive learning strategies, from that logically follows that scientists attach a great importance to
analyzing the learning strategies in education psychology and in foreign language learning methodologies.
Still it is important, how scientists define the learning strategies?
According to Wenden’s view “learning strategies are the collection of activities that individuals
use to help them understand the functions and importance of language learning.” Rigney and Rubin
(1978) consider that the learning strategies are the collection of special behaviors, activities and
techniques that are aimed at improving the results and the language learning processes itself.
Far more interesting is the Oxford definition (Oxford, 1992/1993, p. 18) as the “Oxford Strategy
Inventory for Language Learning, SILL” is one of the significant instrument for analyzing the language
learning strategies. It presents detailed structured model that are basis for modern research
