QU’EST-CE QU’APPENDRE A APPRENDRE ?

HOLEC, Henri

What does learning to learn really mean, and what sort of training should be made available to a learner who decides to acquire, or develop, a learning ability ? These are the two questions this article proposes answers to, and this in three successive stages. First, learning, as distinct from acquisition, is described as a monitored succession of acts characterized by specific objectives. contents, modes of performance and modes of assessment. Secondly, a detailed analysis is provided of the types of knowledge and know-how that are required to define, perform, assess and monitor learning acts. Finally, the objectives and general methodology of a training programme aimed at developing a learner’s ability to learn are described and illustrated. Such training should be concerned with the learner’s language culture, learning culture and learning techniques.
