A Review On Writing Skills And Language Learning Strategies For The Purpose Of Communication

English

This paper begins with the premise that Strategies are important if students are to learn effectively, and that this applies no less to language than to any other field of learning. Language proficiency contributes heavily to the success of specifically, graduate students. This is because graduate programs typically have a significant capstone writing requirement such as a thesis or a project with more intensive writing expectations. Therefore, the impact of any shortcomings in English language writing skills is exacerbated among international graduate students as the writing expectations are much higher compared to undergraduate coursework. The concept of strategy is central in the fields of learning and educational psychology. In these psychological realms a focus on strategies must be seen as an attempt to understand how people tackle different leaming performance tasks as well as why, and how such behaviour can be modified through instruction in order to optimize performance.
