A learner while learning the new grammatical form (say, future perfect - will have + past participle) is able to connect what he has already learnt (the present perfect form - has + past participle). What would this learning strategy be called? Correct Answer Cognitive strategies

Teaching strategies- “Teaching Strategy” is an approach a teacher or a parent may adopt to given information to teach a skill or a concept to the child 

Key Points

  •  A learner while learning the new grammatical form (say, future perfect - will have + past participle) is able to connect what he has already learnt (the present perfect form - has + past participle) The strategy used here is the cognitive strategies.
  • Cognitive strategies are types of learning strategies that learners use in order to learn. These include repetition, organizing new language, summarising meaning, guessing meaning from context, and using imagery for memorization.
  • As the learner  already learned the present form, while learning the new grammatical form he is able to link with his understanding by using its memorization

Thus, it is concluded that cognitive strategies are used here to learn the new concepts with the use of the previous knowledge.

Teaching about compassion and empathy in schools can help deal with problems of climate change and environmental degradation,” says Barbara Maas, secretary,
Standing Committee for Environment and Conservation, International Buddhist Confederation (IBC). She was in New Delhi to participate in the IBCs governing
council meeting, December 10-11, 2017. “We started an awareness campaign in the year 2005-2006 with H H The Dalai Lama when we learnt that tiger skins were
being traded in China and Tibet. At that time, I was not a Buddhist; I wrote to the Dalai Lama asking him to say that this is harmful and he wrote back to say, “We
will stop this.” He used very strong words during the Kalachakra in 2006, when he said, If he sees people wearing fur and skins, he doesnt feel like living. This sent
huge shock waves in the Himalayan community. Within six months, in Lhasa, people ripped the fur trim of their tubba, the traditional Tibetan dress. The messenger was ideal and the audience was receptive,” says Maas who is a conservationist. She has studied the battered foxs behavioral ecology in Serengeti,Africa. She heads the endangered species conservation at the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) International Foundation for Nature, Berlin. “I metSamdhong Rinpoche, The Karmapa, HH the Dalai Lama and Geshe Lhakdor and I thought, if by being a Buddhist, you become like this, I am going for it, “says Maas, who led the IBC initiative for including the Buddhist perspective to the global discourse on climate change by presenting the statement, The Time to Act is Now: aBuddhist Declaration on Climate Change, at COP21 in Paris. “It was for the first time in the history of Buddhism that leaders of different sanghas came together to take a stand on anything! The statement lists a couple ofimportant things: the first is that we amass things that we dont need; there is overpopulation; we need to live with contentment and deal with each other and theenvironment with love and compassion,” elaborates Maas. She is an ardent advocate of a vegan diet because “consuming meat and milk globally contributes more toclimate change than all "transport in the world.” Turning vegetarian or vegan usually requires complete change of perspective before one gives up eating their favorite food. What are the Buddhist ways to bringabout this kind of change at the individual level? “To change our behavior, Buddhism is an ideal vehicle; it made me a more contented person,” says Maas, who grewup in Germany, as a sausage chomping, meat-loving individual. She says, “If I can change, so can anybody”. Why did Ms. Barbara Mass say “If I can change, so can anybody”?
