The book's authors use their experience of applying the concepts related to independent learning in various geographical, cultural and pedagogical tertiary level learning contexts to present new perspectives on how independent learning can inform and support policy, teaching methodology, curriculum development and the nurturing of successful learners. While the first section of the book provides a view of the field from three broad curriculum development viewpoints, the remaining chapters primarily focus on the experience of learners, teachers and curriculum developers in applying principles of learner autonomy, self-regulation and self-direction with various types of learner--each with their own identities, motivations, expectations and goals. These learner and teacher stories provide insights that are important for an understanding of some of the impacts an independent learning approach to language learning have on learners in various educational contexts. This book will be of value to pre-service and in-service teachers, curriculum developers and teacher educators working in diverse educational contexts in more fully appreciating the contribution an independent learning focus can make to successful learning. 606 $aLearner autonomy 606 $aIndependent study 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 606 $aLanguage and languages$xSelf-instruction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLearner autonomy. 615 0$aIndependent study. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xSelf-instruction. 676 $a418.00711 701 $aMorrison$b Bruce$f1956-$01055275 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464115803321 996 $aIndependent Language Learning$92488561 997 $aUNINA
