Description
Methodologies internalized from school language classes are often poorly suited to the emergent learning goals of university students. However, learners who nurture connections between their language learning and the world beyond the classroom can experience enhanced enjoyment and engagement, as well as uncovering multiple affordances for learning. This presentation will share insights from a practitioner research case study exploring learner agency in a self-directed language learning unit, highlighting key implications for classroom practice.
