ABSTRACT
The year 2000: 8.15am at ‘Green School’, a medium-sized language and business school in London. It was a misty Monday morning in west London. Sara was excited as she had been reading an article about independent learning and was anxious to try out some of the strategies with her class. She wanted to get in early to grab Stuart, the school’s academic advisor, before the start to ask him to pop in and give some feedback on the session. She particularly wanted him to focus on Ali and Stefan as she knew they might struggle with one of the tasks. Stuart always had brilliant insights to offer, particularly at noticing the impact on individual learners.
