"The Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach (CALLA) is an instructional model for second and foreign language learners based on cognitive theory and research. CALLA integrates instruction in priority topics from the content curriculum, development of the language skills needed for learning in school, and explicit instruction in using learning strategies for academic tasks.


The goals of CALLA are for students to learn essential academic content and language and to become independent and self-regulated learners through their increasing command over a variety of strategies for learning in school."

Metacognition: An Overview (Summary)

Metacognition refers to higher order thinking which involves active control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning. Metacognition enables us to be successful learners, and has been associated with intelligence. Because metacognition plays a critical role in successful learning, it is important to study metacognitive activity and development to determine how students can be taught to better apply their cognitive resources through metacognitive control.

"Metacognition" is often simply defined as "thinking about thinking." In actuality, defining metacognition is not that simple, there is much debate over exactly what metacognition is. The term "metacognition" is most often associated with John Flavell . According to him, metacognition consists of both metacognitive knowledge and  metacognitive experiences or regulation.
