Empowering learners to become independent and lifelong learners takes on a pivotal role
in the Singapore education scene with a new initiative known as the Strategies for Active
and Independent Learning (SAIL) being tried out in schools here. This book is written for
teachers who are concerned with promoting autonomous learning by using IT and Internet
resources. The first section acquaints readers with important theoretical concepts central to
the field of learner autonomy. The second section provides readers with useful practical tips
by giving information as to how autonomy can be fostered through self-access learning.
Numerous websites where learners can access to engage in interesting online activities to
improve their language proficiency are also included.
