Temple University Japan:

TUJ Osaka Distinguished Lecturer Series: Autonomy in Language Learning

Date: Saturday, October 6th, 2012 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Phil Benson (Hong Kong Institute of Education)

Description:
Autonomy has become a keyword in global language education policy in recent years, but many teachers remain uncertain about the value of autonomy and what they should do in order to encourage it among their learners. The main questions addressed in this lecture are: What does it mean to be an 'autonomous language learner? What does it mean to help our students become more autonomous in theoretical and practical terms? The opening session will provide an overview of the theory of autonomy in language learning, discuss some of the typical problems that teachers have with, and suggest how key ideas on autonomy can be put into practice in the classroom.
