Based on Zimmerman, Bonner, and Kovach's (1996) academy model, an intervention consisting of seven weekly training sessions to increase students' awareness of and ability to plan and manage their study time was developed. Participant students reflected on the implementation of each phase of the learning model in their weekly journal entries, through which the researchers monitored and evaluated the training process. The results indicate that the training proved to be beneficial in that students reported frequent use of a variety of strategies throughout the training process.

Based on skill acquisition theory (SAT), skills‐based training (SBT) refers to the proceduralization of the declarative knowledge through feedback. Skill acquisition applies to second language acquisition (SLA) just as it applies to any cognitive skill development. SBT in SLA requires a gradual progress from effortful use of the target language with declarative knowledge to automatic use of it with the help of contextual and meaningful practice, which eventually leads to the autonomous use of the language. This entry focuses on the theory and different phases of skills‐based training from SLA perspective.
