>Dear L1-friends,
>
>Here in the Netherlands a research project was funded in which we
>investigate the possibilities to design lessons/lesson materials that
>allow students in the range of 13-15 years olds to develop learning skills
>in language lessons. The global research question is how L1-education can
>stimulate the growth towards self-regulated/independent/autonomous
>learning, and how we can differentiate within groups in the level of
>self-regulation and pace of growing. In the end, we will co-design, with
>teachers, lesson materials, try them out, evaluate the results, redesign
>etc. But now we are in the phase of searching similar studies in other
>language regions.
>Until now we searched through ERIC, the Web of Science and other
>international databases, and we found just very, very few studies (in
>fact: we did not find any empirical study, most position papers)
>
>We can't imagine that no experiments were run in the global village, and
>no reports on practice are available, somewhere. That is why we follow
>this route of approaching L1-friends. You could help us enormously with
>references to work done in your country on encouraging students to acquire
>learning skills/attitudes in L1-lessons. If you could send us just one
>reference or email address of a researcher or informant, we are very grateful.
