In the language strategy use category of listening strategy, I found the strategy of listening to talk shows on the radio, watch TV shows, or see movies in the target language to be useful because when watching a movie in the target language I can have subtitles in English so when the characters in the movie are saying something in Japanese I can study the English meaning of it and write it down on a piece of paper.
In the vocabulary strategy use inventory I think that writing new words out into meaningful sentence would be helpful along with reviewing them every day so that I don’t forget them so that the information is reinforced into my brain. Another trick that I think is useful is picturing the way the word is spelled inside my mind that way I can have a mental image that will help me remember new words. In the speaking strategy category I think that seeking out opportunities to speak with native speakers is helpful. For example, speaking with International students from Japan. Another thing that I think is effective in doing is using synonyms or words that have the same meaning to the word I am trying to use in order to express an idea. In the reading strategy use inventory I think that reading in the target language is useful. Reading in the target language would help me learn how to spell words correctly which is a issue that I have since I am not exposed to how a lot of words are spelled since I am always writing sentences in class but hardly reading a lot of them because I am mostly taught on writing and creating. In the writing strategy use is planning out in advance how to write any academic papers that way I will be able to have more practice in writing any academic papers and so when the time comes to actually write one I will have a easier time trying to write. Another strategy that I find helpful is writing personal texts or journals in the target language. This will help me to be able to get a lot of writing practice along with spelling. When it comes to the speaking strategy use I found some strategies of finding a native speaker of the target language to speak to in that target language and practicing speaking to them while making some mistakes in the target language and having them correct me on the mistakes that I make. I also found that speaking out allowed some certain expression in the target language would also help me in speaking it because then I can learn how to use a good use my tone instead of sounding too mono toned when I am speaking that way I will not sound like a robot when I am speaking and can add some emotions to my expressions.
