Chamot, A. U., Anstrom, K., Bartoshesky, A., Belanger, A., Delett, J., Karwan, V., Meloni, C., & Keatley, C. (2003). The elementary immersion learning strategies resource guide. Washington, D.C.: National Capital Language Resource Center, 2011 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200.
Ch. 1: "Language Learning Strategies," defines and describes learning strategies. It includes a chart of twenty learning strategies and their definitions that is followed by more detailed descriptions and examples of the strategies. Ch. 2: "Teaching Students to Think about Learning," explains Strategic Thinking. It also describes how to use strategic thinking to organize strategies and presents ways to introduce it to elementary-school students. Ch. 3: "Teaching Learning Strategies," presents the principal elements and theoretical organization of learning strategies instruction using the teaching sequence identified in the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach (CALLA) framework (Chamot & O’Malley, 1994). It also shows teachers how to write a learning strategies lesson based on the CALLA model. This model is a language and content learning approach that incorporates learning strategies instruction. Ch. 4: "The Scope and Sequence for Learning Strategies Instruction," outlines the purpose and development of the scope and sequence for learning strategies instruction in the elementary immersion setting. It then suggests ways to use the scope and sequence as a guide for selecting and sequencing strategies to introduce to students at each grade level, and how they can be used to enhance learning in the different content areas. Ch. 5: "Sample Learning Strategies Lessons," contains lesson plans that can be adapted to fit individual classroom needs. Designed jointly by elementary immersion teachers and NCLRC staff, the lessons illustrate learning strategies instruction for a wide variety of grade levels, languages, and subject areas. Ch. 6: "A Review of the Literature on Language Learning Strategies Instruction," includes a short review of the literature on language learning strategies.
