The contributors to the book describe research into assessment both for and as autonomy, as well as approaches to the assessment of autonomy itself.
Reviews / Votes
"This volume is one of the first publications to tackle the questions related to assessment and autonomy in foreign language learning and it is a must-read for everyone who wants to advance their understanding of these complex topics without having to grapple with the challenges alone." (Christian Ludwig, Oxford University Press Journals, Vol. 71 (1), January, 2017)More details
