The Sound of One Hand Clapping: How to Succeed in Independent Language Learning.
Rowsell, Lorna V.; Libben, Gary
Canadian Modern Language Review, v50 n4 p668-87 Jun 1994
Describes the self-reported strategies of 30 adults who were independent language learners for a period of 6 months and kept diaries of their language learning experiences. High achievers showed significantly more instances of communication-making and context-making activities, treating language as a medium of communication rather than as a subject to be learned. (MDM)
