For many years the 1996 edited collection Taking Control: Autonomy in Language Learning has been an influential landmark in the field of learner autonomy, contributing to our understanding of how learner control can support and enhance language learning. This inspiring book, Maintaining Control: Autonomy and Language Learning, continues and extends that tradition, highlighting current thinking on autonomy from a critical and sociocultural perspective, and stressing the importance of more localized views of learner and teacher autonomy. -- Cynthia White, School of Language Studies, Massey University
This volume brings together major contributions from the 2004 Autonomy and Language Learning: Maintaining Control conference and provides different critical interpretations of autonomy in second language education. Contributors include Naoko Aoki, Phil Benson, Sara Cotterall, Edith Esch, Terry Lamb, David Little, Phil Riley, Barbara Sinclair, Richard Smith and Ema Ushioda.
