SSBI

Its a manual which cointains theoretical background with practical suggestionsIt has scripted lessons for use by teachers to develop styles and strategies based instructionGOAL: To help the students become more effective, efficient and responsible as a L2 learners+CONCLUSIONSAs a teacher we have to show our students all kind of strategies in order to offer them the better one which fits with their learning style.

Even the strategies are classified under different names, the important thing the content of that one.

Under my opinion is important to follow the SSBI once a year, at least as a guide. The teacher will be informed about how she/he can teach the some strategies to her/his students. + Strategies are not inherently good or bad but rather may be appropriate or inappropriate for a given learner at a particular instant Cohen, 2001+
