Managing the Language Learning Process
We provide help for self-directed language learners in setting their goals, developing their own lessons, and for self-evaluation.
Most of us have never had to plan and manage our own language learning because teachers and curriculum designers did it for us. But in a typical field situation, there is no professional teacher. In such situations language learners must be self-directed; they need to set their own goals, develop their own lessons, and monitor their own progress. Although the emphasis is on providing help for field workers learning undocumented languages, many of the principles and techniques are applicable to self-directed learners of any language. As part of the LinguaLinks product, SIL has developed an extensive set of resources to help the self-directed language learner with this task of managing the learning process. Many of these resources are made available here as part of this Web site.
