Um þessa rafbók
The book focuses on seven interrelated features of the language learner autonomy approach, including sustained classroom dialogue, the development of learners’ skills of self-management, recursive cycles of planning and evaluation, the use of logbooks to document learning, the central role of writing, and a distinctive approach to grammar and accuracy. Throughout, emphasis is placed on practical classroom decision-making and the teacher’s role in creating learning environments that foster learner agency, confidence, and long-term proficiency.
Designed for use in pre-service and in-service teacher education, professional development, and individual reflective practice, the guide is accompanied by short video introductions aligned with each unit of the book.
