Independent learning is not a new concept for language educators butwhile teachers, curriculum designers and policy makers have embraced it as underpinning modern notions of education, it remains a dynamic andvibrant field for researchers and academics who aim to broaden its scope and deepen our understanding of how it may be applied most effectively both inside and outside the classroom. 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 thebook 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 thatare 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 indiverse educational contexts in more fully appreciating the contribution an independent learning focus can make to successful learning.
