Dear Colleagues,
I'm interested in adding a component to our curriculum that  
strengthens English Language Learner's  skills in "learning to  
learn."  Do any of you know of any programs where they have developed  
such a thing?  When I worked in an EFL setting in Japan we used a  
language learning notebook, discussed and reinforced behaviors for  
successful language learning, and gained student feedback on what  
helped/what hindered their learning.   We often use learning styles  
inventories with Native English Speakers, but to my knowledge one has  
not be simplified for use with ELLs.  I'd be curious to hear how  
others may be incorporating these kinds of activities into their  
programs.

Any ideas or sharing of experiences would be appreciated!
