Published!

Here is one of my completed summer projects. I feel good to have finished it. I made the cover, liased with the editor and authors, proofread the book, did all the technical editing in order to make this into an ebook, and published it on Amazon and Smashwords.

Menegale, M., (2013) (Ed). Autonomy in language learning: Getting learners actively involved. IATEFL: Canterbury, UK.  Foreword by C.M.Coonan, 365 pages. 

The aim of this volume is to expand knowledge on research and action-research on language learner autonomy, conceivably inspiring further investigation into how students can be helped to be more actively involved in their own learning. The volume explores concepts such as ‘motivation’, ‘self-efficacy’, ‘learner strategies’, ‘self-reflection’, as well as the use of specific autonomous tools and tasks that may be included in the curriculum, yet help students make the most of out-of-class language learning opportunities. The volume contains selected papers from the International Conference on Language Learner Autonomy held at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice in September 2011 supported by the IATEFL Learner Autonomy Special Interest Group.
