The topics of autonomy and independence play an increasingly
important role in language education. They raise issues such as
learners' responsibility for their own learning, and their right to
determine the direction of their own learning, the skills which can
be learned and applied in self-directed learning and capacity for
independent learning and the extents to which this can be
suppressed by institutional education. This volume offers new
insights into the principles of autonomy and independence and the
practices associated with them focusing on the area of EFL
teaching. The editors' introduction provides the context and
outlines the main issues involved in autonomy and independence.
Later chapters discuss the social and political implications of
autonomy and independence and their effects on educational
structures. The consequences for the design of learner-centred
materials and methods is discussed, together with an exploration of
the practical ways of implementing autonomy and independence in
language teaching and learning . Each section of the book opens
with an introduction to give structure to the development of ideas
and themes, with synopses to highlight salient features in the text
and help build upon the material of previous chapters.
