Autonomy in Language Learning: Opening a Can of Worms

Edited by Carol J. Everhard and Jo Mynard, with Richard Smith



This volume contains a collection of articles which were originally published between 2006 and 2010 in the Learner Autonomy SIG's newsletter Independence. All of the articles were written in connection with a project which likened exploring the multifaceted concept of learner autonomy to opening a metaphorical “can of worms”. Ten “worms” were released into the academic community, resulting in a series of short articles. The following areas are explored in this collection:

Assessment
Classroom research
Counselling/advising
Culture
Learner training
Motivation
Self-access
Teacher autonomy
Teacher education
Technology
