Learner Autonomy SIG Pre-conference Event -  31 March, 2009


Promoting Learner Autonomy: Processes and Practices 

Registration for this event is now closed

The aim of our PCE in 2009 is to showcase and discuss practices and processes by which learner autonomy is developed, from primary to adult levels, both within and outside the classroom. Central questions will be what teachers and learners do to develop learner/teacher autonomy and with what results.

The programme for the day (PDF) provides a wide range of talks, posters (and one workshop) by experienced practitioners and researchers from around the world, with particular emphases on the use of diaries and journals, oral communication, and communities of learners. An important feature of the programme is that plenty of time has been allowed for participants to reflect, to interact and to contribute to the whole experience of the PCE.

Invited speakers: Pili Uceira Díez (Spain), Lienhard Legenhausen (Germany)  Annamaria Pinter (UK), Mario Rinvolucri (UK)

Other talks by: Linda Khenoune (Algeria), Alison Dickens (UK), and Richard Smith & Peter Brown (UK)

Workshop by: Jodie Sakaguchi (Japan)

Posters by: Anja Burkert (Austria), Leni Dam (Denmark), Chantal Dion (Canada),  Jo Mynard and Katherine Thornton (Japan), Sarwat Reza (Bangladesh), Richard Pemberton (UK) .
