Explorations in Teacher Development: Volume 24 Issue 2 (Fall 2017)
What does learner autonomy mean to you? Do question types and scoring methods have an effect on learner motivation? How do students feel about doing homework? These are some of the questions our contributors, Devon Arthurson, Tomoyuki, Kawashima, and Ewen MacDonald, sought to explore in this issue.
The fall issue of the ETD always publishes the proceedings from our popular Teacher Journey Conference. This year, Mary Hillis, Cristina Tat, Chad Cottam, and Yutaka Fujieda shared their journeys with us in written form.
