What is a self-access centre in 2012?

Self-access Self: centrality of the learner in the learning process Access: power of getting near or into contact with something or someone Self-access: empowerment of the learner

Centre a building dedicated to a particular activity the point around which things group themselves or revolve, or that form a nucleus or concentration a point from which things, influences emanate

…a place with a system of learner-accessed language learning facilities and resources (both human and non-human) where the learner studies independently with varying degrees of guidance. These resources may include support systems (both human and non-human based), technology, structured learning opportunities (for example, learning workshops), opportunities for both individual and group focused modes of learning, and learning materials. (a 2003 definition)

What is a self-access centre in 2012? What is the purpose of a self-access centre in 2012? How can this best be achieved in 2012?

Discussion summary (in order of discussion) there is still a need for a “library-like” place for physical storage of media face-to-face human interaction is a very important element in SALL - interaction with” “expert”, peer, conversation partner etc. a SAC acts as a “go-to-point” where IL skills are developed and reinforced by interaction with SAC facilities, media and personnel SALL has not changed, but the materials and technology have; the challenge is to decide how to adapt our SACs to accommodate these there is a need for SACs to offer learners something that they cannot get elsewhere (in a library for example)

there is a need for a place for face-to-face linguistic interaction, both with a teacher/advisor and with peers suggestions were made with regard to the use of Skype for online conferencing and Second Life as a context for a virtual SAC there is a need to offer learners a variety of choices in terms of (for example): - mode of study (face-to-face v online) - topic of study
