In language learning, reading is regarded as one of the most resourceful method to be employed by language learners to improve their productive skills namely writing and speaking. However, little attention has been given to the aforementioned strategies to be as a mean to improve language proficiency in general. The study aims to discover language learners’ most preferred strategies to be employed in improving their reading skills in general. Distribution of questionnaires was conducted to 37 secondary school students participated in this study.  Results revealed that cognitive and planning strategies are the most preferred strategies by the students as the students were given more time and flexibility in planning their own reading.

Összefoglaló. A felsőoktatás egyik fontos feladata, hogy igazodjon a munkaerőpiac kihívásaihoz. Korábban még nem létező, digitális képességekre épülő pozíciók jelentek meg az utóbbi években, amelyek ellátásához a digitális olvasás- és írástudás, valamint a kommunikáció fejlesztése elengedhetetlen. A tanulmány célja a hallgatók jelenlegi digitális és verbális kommunikációs szintjének és azok fejlesztési lehetőségeinek bemutatása a rendészeti szaknyelvi órák keretében. Bemutatjuk a különböző nyelvtanítási módszerek és nyelvtanulási stratégiák alkalmazhatóságát, melyre építve ismertetjük a tervezett empirikus vizsgálatunk legfontosabb jellemzőit, melyet a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem Rendészettudományi Karán a rendészeti szaknyelvet tanuló hallgatók körében valósítunk majd meg. Summary. One of the main tasks of higher education is to adapt to the challenges of the labour market. New positions have emerged nowadays that can be filled only by those possessing appropriate digital and communication skills, thus these jobs require these skills on a daily basis. The aim of the study is to present the students’ actual digital and verbal communication level and the possible ways of their improvement in ESP (English for Specific Purposes) classes. We present the applicability of various language teaching methods and language learning strategies, and relying on them, we present the main characteristics of our planned empirical research that will be carried out with the students of the Faculty of Law Enforcement at the University of Public Service.

Este artigo objetiva averiguar, com base em uma revisão sistemática de literatura, o investimento em estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem autorregulada em cursos de Licenciatura em Geografia. Os dados foram coletados nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online, Red de Revistas Cientificas de America Latina y el Caribe, España y Portugal e na Plataforma Sucupira da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior em periódicos da Geografia com classificação Qualis A1, A2 e B1 dos últimos cinco anos. A busca pelos trabalhos teve como resultado o total de 154 artigos. Destes, apenas 25 tratavam especificamente da formação inicial de professores e, dentre estes, apenas 8 atendiam às demandas da pesquisa. Os resultados revelaram a necessidade de mais investimento em programas de intervenção em estratégias de aprendizagem e a necessidade de pesquisas futuras que disseminem na Geografia a temática da autorregulação.
