Helping Learners Develop Second Language Proficiency
Volume II of Proceedings from the International Congresses on Language Learning
Edited by Lonna Dickerson
Also available on CD-ROM, this is the second of two volumes of papers from the International Congress on Language Learning. This collection consists of twenty papers from the second Congress (October, 1995) and the third Congress (October, 1998). While the book represents a range of viewpoints and subject matter, each contribution has a single overarching goal—to help learners develop the proficiency they need in order to communicate more effectively in their new languages and cultures. Each of the papers addresses the concerns of those who work with pre-field and on-field language and culture learners—facilitators, coaches, supervisors, coordinators, language teachers, tutors, helpers, administrators and members of on-field language committees. This book offers these individuals practical help in dealing with issues such as expanding the role of the language learning facilitator, gleaning insights from research to improve field-based learning, fostering appropriate learner attitudes, helping learners make the most of their individual learning styles and preferences, equipping learners with a repertoire of communicative activities, and assessing the learners’ ability to use the language in real-life situations.
