OPINION SHARING
TEACHERS ROLE
Ts need to become effective mediators.
Ts need to take roles as advisors, facilitators, consultants, co-communicators,
partners and joint problema-solvers.
Ts attitude towards the value of learning strategies is crucial.
Ts should be aware of the strategy implications of every language learning task that
they give.
Ts should organize class work from simpler tasks (more control over how they are
solved) to more complex tasks (Ls select their own strategies to solve them).
