About the Book

Self-access centres provide access to language education, offering foreign language programmes to ever-increasing numbers of learners. This book discusses a range of theoretical and practical issues related to the setting up of self-access centres. The text maintains that each self-access centre depends on its ability to respond to its users in a dynamic way and to meet their expectations of language and language learning. Technology can offer a variety of support systems, enabling learners to become more independent and take more responsibility for their own learning, inside and outside the centre. Written for educators setting up or already running self-access centres (whether in higher or further education, or in industry), the book reflects the international experience of the contributors.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Access - realities and dreams: aspects of learner discourse; demystifying IT in second language learning; hypermedia and cognitive tools. Part 2 Engaging the process: preparing learners - toolkit requirements; learner support - interacting with learners; whatever is worth learning can never be taught...Part 3 Providing resources - the principle of relevance: self-access not self-service; from continuing to higher education; a unique resource-based language learning system. Part 4 Learner support systems: language advising by e-mail; learners' search criteria and cataloguing materials; files and catalogues - meeting and answering learner queries; implementing a support system for language learning on an industrial site. Part 5 Institutional issues - staff and management training: self-access centres - implications for managers, teachers and learners; the Language Learning Centre at the University of Central Lancashire - a case study.
