The Learning Strategies Approach focuses on students' needs and active participation. It aims to develop students' communicative skills, grammar, vocabulary, and phonetics through the use of learning strategies. These strategies include cognitive, metacognitive, social, and affective techniques that students use to take responsibility for and self-evaluate their own learning process, with the teacher acting as a facilitator. To be effective, strategies should not be taught in isolation but rather integrated into the broader learning objectives.
