Language Learning Strategies
This is Original research. The article being in such good form so quickly, with no wikilinks, also suggests a possible copyright violation, but I haven't located the original source. This article was previously deleted via PROD and then recreated, so bringing it here. Mango juice talk 17:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete. Copyvio. Article even says near the end: "Excerpted and adapted from: Chamot, A. U. (forthcoming). The CALLA handbook; Implementing the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach, 2nd edition. White Plains, NY: Pearson-Longman." This is far too detailed for a Wikipedia article about this subject. -Amatulic 18:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete I think this is a copyvio, and agree this is too detailed for wikipedia. If this is an Original essay then maybe it could be put in another wiki as an information source. --Lethaniol 18:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. I have found what I believe to be the source of this work: "Annual Review of Applied Linguistics (2005) 25, pp112 - 130.  It can be accessed at  using search term "LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGY INSTRUCTION". Looks like a clear copyvio. QuiteUnusual 22:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
