| Details | Initially, this project began as a way to integrate L2 reflective writing in communicative Japanese university English-language classes. Students were give reflection tasks on various aspects of their language learning, and were asked to keep these reflections in hand-written journals. This ongoing study involved both low-level and higher-level ELLs (English language learners), both of which have offered up unique challenges in planning and implementation. The ultimate goal of this project is to encourage learner autonomy and awareness beyond the classroom. |
