Why is it important?
This case study indicates how providing an environment where university students experience significant autonomy, even in an ordinary classroom setting, can lead to increased engagement with both content and language.
Perspectives
Experimenting with similar teaching strategies in different contexts will add to the literature on learner autonomy in language learning and hopefully provide teachers with more satisfying ways of achieving FL targets at university.
