It is unquestionable that every model is interesting and in case of practical application of them<br />

yields some positive effects. As Oxford model is the most divers and includes many directions of<br />

learning strategies we will review Oxfords model by considering each features of strategic group:<br />

1. Cognitive: it is mental strategy that is directed to understand the reasons of learning. Such strategies<br />

enable learners to manipulate directly using language materials. Learner reorganizes the materials itself<br />

that gives more effective results. At the same time learner trains in constructing sentences and sounds, uses<br />

new words and expressions in deduction mining and makes summaries.<br />

2. Meta cognitive strategies include pre and post assessments, analysis of activates performed during<br />

language learning and evaluation of planned activities for learning. More concretely Meta cognitive strategy<br />

covers the assessments of mind concentration, organization of thinking and achieved results.<br />

3. Memory Strategies creates such links that enables: to group, analyze, use in appropriate context<br />

words that are perceived by using visual and sound means of learning. These activities are reflected ultimately<br />

on active parts of memory. Also this strategies include using of some technical facilities or physical activities.<br />

4. Compensating strategies enables to pupils the fills the gap of knowledge by using different methods.<br />

These strategies are for example connected to guess the meaning of words by their context while reading<br />

or listening. It implies different communication techniques of grouping synonyms, guessing of meaning, using<br />

gestures and using word derivation.<br />

5. Affective strategy is related to the emotional needs of students, such as feelings or fears of failure,<br />

speaking about the personal feelings, praising of good performance or self gifting in case of achieving<br />

some aimed results. In other words this implies expressing one’s own opinion, making conclusions on one’s<br />

own performance and progress. Analyzing and summarizing of emotional feelings.<br />

6. Social strategy helps students to cooperate with others and to take into account the features of language’s<br />

cultural aspects inherent in the society of mother language. Other features of Social learning strategies<br />

are: trying to understand the meaning of words and word combination, active talks with people to whom this<br />

language of interest is mother language, exploring the cultural and social norms of native speakers.<br />

It is clear that using of some of these strategies are effected by outer factors. Examples of these<br />

factors includes following: teachers, completed activities, features of interaction etc. each of these<br />

factors are reflected on the motivation and readiness of students. Also influence horizon includes the<br />

definition of the question that determines what knowledge is essential or sufficient.<br />

In discussion the learning strategies it is important to review the notion of “Good Student”,<br />

which is formulated on earlier steps of language learning and has an objective to find most effective<br />

approaches that are used by most of the students. There are number of research that confirms the<br />

aims of the strategies used by “Good Student” are the following: 1. interest and attention to forms 2.<br />
