Summary
Summary
This book explores the notion that the reason some learners of second languages excel and others struggle lies in what the learners themselves do-the strategies they bring to language learning and to language use.
Author Notes
Andrew D. Cohen, Chair of the MA in ESL Program and Director of the Undergraduate ESL Minor at the University of Minnesota, has been strategizing about foreign language learning from his first (Latin) to his eleventh (Japanese).
