...
Learning activity in which learners are intentionally aware of their own
learning activities
...

Planning > Asking aims, nature and intentions of the contents, what to do after

need of taking notes
...

Self-interrogation (very important, form of self-testing); anticipation and
verification; Expand and verify

...

Jigsaw

(b) Control perceptions
...


(c)Request feedback to reach mutual understanding
...
Know own
communication style and problems it may cause

(f) Be willing to venture
...

Allow learners to summarize
Provide opportunity to discuss concepts
Give learners to work both in their home language and LoLT
Check learners; understanding of concepts and assist with difficult concepts
Provide examples
...
Write main point learnt previously on a poster to draw their
attention regularly
Draw up vocabulary list
...
Encourage
learners to make their own glossaries and update them regularly
...

Use high standard language, keep it clear and simple
Group discussions
Use visuals/videos/dramatization
