B. LEARNING Enhancement of Autonomy in Language Learners

چکیده
Successful second language acquisition presumes a sustained active involvement of the learner. The approach suggested is to complement and enhance the strategic teaching of new language. Development of students’ autonomy through focused augmentation of awareness in language learning in general and individual learning style in particular is emphasized. Detailed description of implementation and positive feedback is presented. This model of psychological support in language learning is the result of observations, research and intervention projects with new immigrants in acquisition of a second language and can be applied to any case of new language learning, particularly at critical initial stages.
