ABSTRACT
Reflection has become something of a buzzword in recent years. Why do so many people feel that it is important for learning in general and language learning in particular? What does it actually mean to reflect on your learning and why should you do it? This chapter explains what is involved in reflection and how you can increase your effectiveness as a learner and boost your self-confidence by setting aside some time to think about your approach to learning, what you actually do and how you do it. Time spent on this can save you more time in the long run.
