This book brings together a wide range of studies, practical applications and reflective accounts written by academics working at a university in Japan to present a cohesive overview of their collaborative efforts to promote learner reflection within their institution. The book contributes to a shift in language education towards promoting learner responsibility and ownership of their learning through developing a deeper sense of awareness of and motivation for the learning process. It makes a convincing case for showing that not only is promoting reflection possible, but it can also be effectively integrated into language learning activities with significant benefits to the learners. The chapters are highly practical for researchers and practitioners, with the research chapters containing instruments which make them ideal for replication studies. The text includes a wealth of practical tools and activities for practitioners, who will be able to experience first-hand how to facilitate student success and increase satisfaction.

Reviews for Promoting Reflection on Language Learning: Lessons from a University Setting

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 *
