As far as current Strategy Based Instruction research is concerned, it is safe to say that:
I. Since socio-interactionism has been taking more and more space in both Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition areas, there is no use focusing on cognitive language processing.
II. When instructing on learning strategies, teachers should give special attention to Metacognitive and Affective Strategies because research has been pointing out that these ones tend to make a bigger difference in language learning.
III. The more strategies students use, the faster and the better they will master the foreign/second language, so we should teach them as many strategies as we can.
IV. Just asking students what strategies students (think they) employ seems to be of little use to language learning development. It is more appropriate to give them explicit instruction on it and lead them to understand their own learning process.
V. Learning styles and strategy instruction should walk hand-in-hand in language lessons. It is also important to incorporate them in our classroom activities as well as to help students keep learning the language in their daily lives.
