Abstract
The role of a teacher shifts and changes in autonomous learning; rather than a teacher, he is a consultant, helper and facilitator of learner strategies. The study brings an insight into strategic teaching of 13 Czech teachers who taught 202 pupils with completed primary education and the way the teacher shaped their learners’ strategy use. The main research instrument was a field-tested questionnaire administrated in 13 schools in the South Moravian region. The data gained through the questionnaires indicate the learner strategies the teachers claimed they facilitated, and were compared to the strategies their learners stated they employed. The findings indicate that the teachers in the sample facilitated some of the learner strategies but they did not prepare strategy training sequence. Thus, the facilitation was rather intuitive and conducted within hidden curriculum than properly planned. The knowledge gained through this research underlines the importance of strategy training as it may help teachers to choose the right methods and plans in order to enhance learner autonomy and support life-long learning. The paper also aspires to address teachers of different subjects as giving advice on learning to learn plays a vital role not only in teaching foreign languages.
