À propos de cet e-book

Language Learner Autonomy: A Practical Guide offers a clear, classroom-focused introduction to implementing learner autonomy in language education. Drawing on more than forty years of research and practice, David Little presents a coherent pedagogical approach grounded in dialogue, participation, reflection, and purposeful use of the target language from the very first lesson.

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.
