Language learning strategies have been a topic of research for
roughly three decades. Broadly speaking, that research has focused
on classroom tuition, predominantly at secondary level.
Increasingly, however, language learning occurs in independent
settings, whether at distance, on Institution-Wide Language
Programmes (IWLPs), or in virtual environments. Success in
independent language learning is achieved by autonomous individuals
with a capacity for self-regulation. Yet we still know relatively
little about the specific means they use to learn effectively,
whether in terms of the affective strategies they employ to sustain
motivation, the metacognitive strategies required for planning,
monitoring and evaluating their learning, or the specific cognitive
strategies applied to difficult learning tasks. These are all
discussed and evaluated in Language Learning Strategies in
Independent Settings.
Beginning to learn a completely new language can be a daunting
prospect. You may have not studied for some time, lack confidence,
or simply wish for some practical guidance on making the most of
your language study. Success with Languages is designed to help all
students to develop the skills they need to become an effective
language learner.
Written by experienced teachers of languages at the Open
University, "Success with Languages" offers crucial and practical
advice on such crucial areas as:
- Choosing your language and study program
- Becoming an effective learner
- Setting personal goals for language learning
- Monitoring your progress
- Using ICT to support your language learning
Each of the ten chapters contains a number of exercises, in order
to help you assess the way that you learn and consider how it might
be improved.
While designed primarily for undergraduate and postgraduate
students studying courses that involve a language component, this
study guide is relevant to anyone learning a language in any
situation. Whatever your motivation and goals, "Success with"
"Languages" will help you realize your potential and open your mind
to new cultures, peoples and their heritage.
