Reviews / Votes
For many years the 1996 edited collection Taking Control: Autonomy in Language Learning has been an influential landmark in the field of learner autonomy, contributing to our understanding of how learner control can support and enhance language learning. This inspiring book, Maintaining Control: Autonomy and Language Learning, continues and extends that tradition, highlighting current thinking on autonomy from a critical and sociocultural perspective, and stressing the importance of more localized views of learner and teacher autonomy. -- Cynthia White, School of Language Studies, Massey UniversityMore details
