Getting students to think about how they have learned English in the past is a useful method of encouraging them to think about how they can learn more in the future. It also raises their consciousness of the learning process itself and can guide them in their choice of learning strategies that they will employ over the remaining school year. English is something that advanced students often take for granted, and thinking, talking, sand writing about why they speak English is an interesting exercise for both the students themselves and the classmates who learn from them.
