Zdolny uczeń – autonomiczny uczeń: jak rozwijać skuteczne strategie uczenia się na lekcji języka obcego

The paper is devoted to the learner‟s capacity for autonomous foreign language learning, as well as to the role of the teacher in shaping cognitive, metacognitive and socioaffective strategies, which can contribute to effective language education in particular ways. Nowadays teachers can-not neglect skills falling into the „learn to learn” category, which are included in the university teacher training and handbooks only to a very limited degree. The need to focus on such skills is illustrated by the results of surveys conducted among foreign language students, demonstrating their very limited awareness of language learning strategies.
