ABSTRACT

This book will be valuable to L2 teachers who want to help K-12, university-level, and adult students learn more effectively by means of learning strategies. In addition, L2 learning theorists, researchers, and university teachers in various areas (L2 instructional methods, second language acquisition, learning strategies, cross-cultural studies, educational psychology, and other subjects) will gain much from this book. All readers are likely to be interested in the Strategic Self-Regulation (S2R) Model, as well as related concepts (agency, autonomy, hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and mindsets) included in this book. The discussion of strategies and complexity theory will capture the imagination of many readers due to the many L2 learning strategy examples that are included. Readers will want to know about different types of learning strategies contained in this book and will benefit from all-new information on strategy instruction, assessment, and research.
