Reviews of Autonomy You Ask!

“… ample examples of teachers working together… as colleagues collaboratively teaching different classes with the same curriculum, writing a curriculum, or exploring a specific issue.” Naoko Aoki, Osaka University, Japan

“Research is a matter of gaining a better understanding of (or theorizing?) some process or situation (or practice?) through engagement with data arising from it. Just a suggestion, but it seems to fit the contributions to Autonomy You Ask! rather well.” Phil Benson, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

“Autonomy You Ask! has been a priceless opportunity for collaborative development for those of us involved, and readers will feel this shared excitement.” Tim Murphey, Dokkyo University, Japan

“One value of Autonomy You Ask! overall is the way we’re given rare insights into the process of developing autonomy – snapshots of a never-ending journey, not pronouncements set in stone.” Richard Smith, University of Warwick, UK.

“the book itself is a piece of interactive discourse which constitutes successful action research in teacher/learner development. It is also original in articulating the pedagogical debate in a socio-cultural framework and in providing an account of the development of autonomy for learners and teachers of English in Japan. In a fundamental sense, the form of the book cannot be separated from the content which is based on a dialogic notion of knowledge-construction across cultures.” Edith Esch, University of Cambridge, System 33 (2005).
