Abstract:

What does 'autonomy' mean within language learning? Should it be enhanced
within national, institutional or small group culture and, if so, how can
that be done? A variety of new theoretical perspectives are here firmly
anchored in research data from projects worldwide. By foregrounding
cultural issues and thus explicitly addressing the concerns of many
educators on the appropriateness and feasibility of developing learner
autonomy in practice, this book fills a gap in the literature and offers
practical benefits to language teachers.
