Abstract:
"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 theory and practice makes the debate about SALL accessible and makes this book a useful resource for establishing and running self-access learning facilities."--BOOK JACKET. "The book is suitable for anyone concerned with self-access, from pre-service teacher trainees to experienced teachers and from managers of dedicated self-access centres to administrators concerned with financing self-access facilities."--BOOK JACKET.
