Making Space for Autonomy in Language Learning
Description
This book is the result of the 14th Nordic Conference on Developing Learner Autonomy in Language Learning and Teaching. The event took place at Leibniz Universität Hannover in August 2019.

The book showcases theoretical and practical applications to the development of learner autonomy in international contexts.
