Ownership as used in whole language is the control over the learning
process and its uses by the learner. That means a number of things. For
one the Zoped is a condition of the learner. It can be mediated by a
teacher, parent or peer but not controlled or be made to happen. Further
in "interventions" rather than mediations the ownership is shifted from
the learner to the intervenor. The laerner then no longer owns his/her
own learning.
