Abstract:

This volume offers a collection of essays addressing contemporary issues in
foreign and second language education. In particular, it addresses language
learner autonomy, both as a theoretical construct and in relation to areas
of application such as the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR),
the European Language Portfolio (ELP), teacher training, Content and
Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and minority language provision. The
contributors - well-known researchers, policy makers, teachers and teacher
trainers - provide a multi-faceted insight into an innovative and
influential approach to language education.

David Little, to whom the volume is dedicated, was Associate Professor of
Applied Linguistics and Head of the School of Linguistic, Speech and
Communication Sciences at Trinity College Dublin. He is recognised
worldwide as a leading proponent of the theory of language learner
autonomy, and has been a driving force behind many influential language
education initiatives internationally.
