“…advising in language learning involves the process and practice of helping students to direct their own paths so as to become more effective and more autonomous language learners” (Carson & Mynard, forthcoming)
The aim of this event is to highlight the significant role that the growing field of advising in language learning has by sharing current research and practice. We welcome participants to share their work whether it is classroom-based, or occurring outside the classroom. The event should provide plenty of opportunities for meeting other professionals engaged in promoting language learner autonomy though the process of advising.
