Autonomy has increasingly become a central focus of language policy in education systems worldwide, especially with the growing emphasis on independent learning and the rapid development of new technologies.

In its fully revised and updated second edition, Teaching and Researching Autonomy offers an accessible and comprehensive critical overview of both the theory and practice of autonomy. Tracing the evolution of the concept, the book explores key questions about how autonomy can be recognized in learners’ behaviour and how to evaluate the diverse educational practices designed to promote autonomous learning.

New features of this edition include:

Autonomy in relation to emerging technologies
Teacher autonomy
Sociocultural perspectives on autonomy

Featuring more than three hundred new references and five fresh case studies that offer practical guidance on research methods and topics, this edition of Teaching and Researching Autonomy serves as an essential introduction for teachers and students to one of the most dynamic and influential areas in language teaching and research today.
