Learner autonomy is something that happens INSIDE the classroom, not out of it. Teachers can't sit back and wait for their students to become autonomous.

This is part of what the esteemed Dr. David Little shared with us in our conversation.

David Little is Fellow Emeritus at Trinity College Dublin and a leading scholar in learner autonomy, linguistic diversity, and the application of the CEFR in language education. He played a key role in developing the European Language Portfolio and has led several national and international projects focused on language support for migrants and refugees. He currently coordinates the Council of Europe’s Romani–Plurilingual Policy Experimentation and is the author of influential works on educational inclusion and language learning.

In this episode, David discusses:

  • Understanding Language Learner Autonomy

  • Defining Autonomy in Language Learning

  • Pedagogical Models for Autonomy

  • Autonomy in Diverse Educational Contexts

  • Challenges and Collaborative Solutions for Teachers

  • Language Learner Autonomy and Writing

  • Developing Reflective Dialogue in Classrooms

  • Practical Advice for Fostering Learner Autonomy
