Learning Strategies that Get Results – with Rachael Harris (Recorded at IATEFL 2024)

Author Rachael Harris discusses her latest book, Activities for Developing Learning Strategies, and how her experience teaching teens and young learners inspired her to focus on inclusive practices and the importance of strategies to boost students' performance. The conversation explores examples from Rachael's book, emphasising direct and indirect learning strategies that can be applied in the classroom and beyond.

TALKING POINTS

  1. Inspiration Behind the Book. Rachael shares how her experience with teens and young learners inspired her to write Activities for Developing Learning Strategies.
  2. Direct and Indirect Learning Strategies. Rachael outlines the two main strategies: direct strategies (like vocabulary memorisation) and indirect strategies (such as goal setting and motivation). Both play a critical role in enhancing learning across different subjects.
  3. Goal Setting and Quick Wins. How the “quick wins” strategy helps maintain motivation by encouraging students to complete small, easy tasks when they feel stuck or demotivated.
  4. Scientific Basis for Learning. Rachael encourages her students to focus on proven methods such as spaced practice and self-testing, rather than relying on less effective techniques like re-reading and highlighting.
