This study, presuming the construction of an integrative execution model of meta-cognitive strategy with the perspective view of error analysis, focuses on the results and discussion.展开更多

Cognitive theory can extend to describe learning strategies as complex cognitive skills. Theoretical developments in Anderson’s production systems cover a broader range of behavior than other theories, including comprehension and production of oral and written texts as well as comprehension, problem solving, and verbal learning.Thus Anderson’s cognitive theory can be served as a rationale for learning strategy studies in second language acquisition.展开更多
