ESTABLISHING SELF ACCESS FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

This book examines establishing, maintaining and developing self-access language learning (SALL). While much of this book presents practical ideas dealing with issues related to SALL, they are supported by references to relevant literature and research. This link between theroy and practice makes the debate about SALL accesible and makes this book a useful resource for establishing and running self-access learning facilities. The unique features of this book are

• a typology of self-access facilities

• a discussion about how to manage self-access

• a wide variety of practical suggestions for implementing self-access in different contexts

• case studies which illustrate self-access in action

The book is suitable for anayone concerned with self-access, from pre-service teacher trainees to experienced teachers and from managers to dedicated self-access centres to administrators concerned with financing self-access facilities.
