Learn languages with strategic methods

Design and diagnose language learning plans using strategy taxonomy

Designing self-directed language programs from scratch or rescuing stuck learners by repositioning strategy selection based on their actual phase

• · learner proficiency level (A1-C2)
• · target language and L1
• · available study hours per week
• · learner goals (conversational, reading, professional)

• · phased learning arc with milestones
• · strategy recommendations by phase
• · study material progression
• · plateau diagnosis and recovery tactics

Learner commitment to thousands of hours; realistic timeframe (Foundation 500+ hours); access to comprehensible input resources

Overshooting i+1 (input too hard); mixing incompatible strategies; ignoring affective filter (anxiety blocking learning); underestimating hours required

• · Framework explicitly cites Krashen (acquisition conditions) and Bruner (scaffolding)
• · Three concrete learning arcs with hour thresholds (0-500, 500-1500, 1500-3000+)
• · Strategy taxonomy from Oxford's SILL (1990) — gold standard in L2 research
• · Example of phase-appropriate strategy vs. phase-inappropriate (extensive reading at B1-B2, not A1)
