Also of interest to language teachers and researchers involved in autonomous learning, self-access, and learner training, and the TESOL market in general.

Autonomy, or the ability of learners to control their own learning, has become a key concept in language education, influencing activities as diverse as self-access, distance learning, computer-assisted language learning, learner training, classroom practice and curriculum design.
Teaching and Researching Autonomy in Language Learning is the first volume to offer a comprehensive account of autonomy in language learning, and the educational practices associated with the concept. The book:
* details the history and sources of the concept of autonomy
* discusses areas of debate concerning its definition
* reviews research on theoretical and practical applications
* offers clear guidelines to educators on the evidence for the effectiveness of practices associated with autonomy
The final chapter offers suggestions of issues for investigation, advice on action research design and a listing of relevant internet resources. This chapter can also be found on the Teaching and Researching Autonomy in Language Learning companion web-site.
Teaching and Researching Autonomy in Language Learning will be welcomed by practising and training language teachers and students of Applied Linguistics, TESOL and TEFL both for its comprehensive, up-to-date coverage and for the new insights it offers into the theory and practice of autonomy.
Phil Benson is a Lecturer at the English Centre, University of Hong Kong. He has taught English and Applied Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong since 1991 and has published widely on autonomy and related issues in applied linguistics. He is the co-editor of the Longman volume Autonomy and Independence in Language Learning (1997)
