Pawlak (2008) defined this learning form as "explicit-inductive learning" in which the learner "participates in the rule discovery discussion in class, trying to apply it in a meaningful context as soon as possible" (p. 112). ...

Pawlak (2008) defined it as "explicit-deductive L2 learning", in which the learner pays attention to "the rules provided by the teacher or the book" (p. 112). ...
At this point, it is useful to introduce GLSs that are available for linguistic levels and which are useful for the teacher to integrate into classes of grammar. Most strategies ( Table 1) are part of the O'Malley and Chamot (1990) classification charts, some have been provided by Oxford (1990), and some by Pawlak (2008) regarding the use of diaries to record GLSs from "Advanced Learner's use of strategies for learning grammar: A Diary Study".
