This book considers the strategies used by successful language learners, in the light of current thinking and research.
Inspired by a ground-breaking article by Joan Rubin in 1975 in which she set out to identify the strategies used by successful language learners, this edited collection re-examines the same topic in the light of current thinking and research, considers the implications for language teaching and learning, and looks at some of the questions which are still unresolved.
