Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This volume explores some of the theoretical, empirical, and practical considerations when supporting educators and learners in promoting language learner autonomy. It contains selected papers from the IATEFL Learner Autonomy SIG events, held in Liverpool, UK from 1-5 April 2019, as well as chapters which address and further explore topics and trends that were discussed during these events. The findings that are presented throughout the chapters pay special attention to the ‘social turn’ in researching language learner autonomy development and second language acquisition, and focus on the social, interactive and co-dependent nature of the concept. The volume concludes with a research agenda which draws on the social factors and agency that are likely to be the subject of further work in the coming years. This research agenda aims to inform and inspire the research field, and revisit certain methods, metaphors and terms we have used within the field for decades. |
