Learner Autonomy SIG Pre-conference Event - 31 March, 2009
Promoting Learner Autonomy: Processes and Practices
Register to attend this event and the annual IATEFL conference.

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.
