Reviews

This is an excellent collection on how university language learners (especially in Japan) can reflect on their learning, using different tools and evaluate whether their learning goals are succeeding. The book provides valuable insights and proven methods of support for language learners in developing reflective awareness about their own learning. * Thomas S.C. Farrell, Brock University, Canada * A refreshing take on this important aspect of language learning! It brings together theoretical perspectives and a variety of small-scale studies which collectively serve to demystify the process of enhancing learner reflection. The focus on practical tools and activities makes this book invaluable for educators looking to promote reflection in their contexts. * Katherine Thornton, Otemon Gakuin University, Japan *
