Author Description

This work considers ways in which pupils can be encouraged to develop the necessary skills and strategies to learn more effectively. The current concern to raise achievement in all areas of the curriculum may leave modern language teachers feeling that they should be drawing yet more colourful flashcards, devising further sets of differentiated worksheets or creating a choice of even more imaginative creative outcomes. An alternative approach is to focus on enabling the pupils themselves to become more effective learners; for pupils to take more responsibility for their own progress.
