Synopsis

What do second language learners do to learn a second language? How do they manage or self-direct these efforts? What do they know about their language learning process? How can their skills be refined and developed? The papers presented in this collection address these theoretical and practical concerns. They report on research that demonstrates that second language learners bring a varied range of learning skills to the task of acquiring second language competence. They also bring to light the knowledge learners have about their learning process. The collection adds to our knowledge of the cognitive abilities involved in second language learning. It points to other dimensions to be taken into account in the development of leamer-centered methods and materials. It is a book that will be of interest and practical value to both classroom teachers and researchers.
