Learning Strategy Instruction in the Language Classroom : Issues and Implemen...

Description: Product InformationThis comprehensive collection, comprising both theoretical and practical contributions, is unique in its focus on language learning strategy instruction (LLSI). The chapters, written by leading international experts, embrace both sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. The issues presented include different models of strategy instruction and how they can be tailored according to context and the learners' age and attainment level. The collection will be an important resource for researchers in the field, both for its critical perspectives and its guidance on collaborating with teachers to design interventions to implement strategy instruction. It also identifies key areas for research, including the teaching of less studied groups of strategies such as grammar and affective strategies. The book will prove equally valuable to language teachers through the provision of detailed teaching materials and tasks. Those engaged in professional development, whether pre- or in-service teacher education, will find a wealth of concrete ideas for sessions, courses and assignments."This book is suitable for anybody who is interested in research on LLS and LLSI. The "Questions" proposed at the end of each chapter could all become topics for future research by both expert scholars and novice researchers. Supported by the work in this volume, we anticipate the start of a new era of LLSI with interdisciplinary support., Chamot and Harris should be applauded for the wonderful work presented in this fine collection. They are both champions of language learning strategy research and practice, and this book well represents their action and achievement. Through this work Chamot's legacy will also be strongly remembered. Such work will continue to benefit language learners around the world in the years to come."
