● Self-Directed LearningⅡ

051-H-158

This course will provide learners with guidance and support needed to apply the knowledge, skills, and
understandings gained in Self-directed Learning I to better organize and monitor their own learning
more effectively. Learners will apply techniques for managing time, setting appropriate goals,
evaluating performance, and reporting on their English language learning to plan and carry out
individual study plans that meet their individual language needs and personal interests. Reflection
activities will help learners understand how to apply these skills more broadly to learning other
subjects as well. Instructors will assist learners in effectively studying the English language as self-directed and more autonomous learners.

Students will consolidate the knowledge and skills required for self-directed learning they acquired in
SDL I. Based upon feedback from instructors and peers, learners will extend their independent
learning and engage in fully self-directed learning by planning, carrying out, evaluating, and reporting
on their own language and content learning.
