This document can be used as a classroom poster or a printed version in students books to help them be autonomous with their language learning.

I print off copies for students in A5 and hand them out at the start of the year. Students stick it at the back of their book.

We spend a whole lesson around mid-end of September on metacognition and I use the document to model how to be an efficient language learner, boost autonomy, self efficacy and enhance the learning. We use what we have learnt so far in September and apply the techniques mentioned.

For the rest of the year, I use it INSTEAD of extension activities (Which I think have very little value) So instead of planning and giving extension activities, I train students to use any extra time to go back to the document in their book and apply metacognition strategies to enhance their learning and deepen their understanding of the language.

I also use it as a homework tool when I set vocabulary to learn or general revisions.
