Purpose
The research is to explore the influence of learning strategies and teacher’s strategy instructions on English literacy-driven achievement in the context of 12-year basic education. The study has two goals. The first goal is to investigate the relationship between English literacy-driven achievement and learning strategies including memory, cognition, inference and metacognition strategies. The second goal is to test whether teacher’s strategy instructions affect the means of English achievement in the class and adjust the impact of learning strategies on English achievement.
Literature Review
The researches have indicated that learning strategies affect students’ English grades. These studies use Pearson correlation and description statistics to demonstrate the relationship between grades and learning strategies. Additionally, the studies reveal that teachers’ strategy instructions influence on English achievement. A semi-structure interview is applied to explore the impact of teachers’ strategy instructions on English grades. However, no research has investigated how learning strategies and teachers’ strategy instructions affect achievement within the same framework. Furthermore, contextual effects have not been considered when examining the relationship between learning strategies, teachers’ strategy instructions and achievement.
