A short update:
Having moved away from Language Learner Strategies (LLSs) to Language Learning Beliefs (LLBs) in September last year, I spent a lot of time devising, piloting and revising an online survey: the Language Learning Beliefs Survey (LLBS). It is now finally ready and online.
Complete the survey now and find out more about what you believe about learning languages: http://ronpeek.com/lime/index.php
If you know of anyone else (friends, family, colleagues, etc.) who would like to find out more about their own language learning beliefs, then please feel free to forward the link (via email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). I am looking for a wide and diverse range of people, ranging from those who know one or two languages, or three, four or five, to those who know perhaps six, seven or even more.
Now, back to the literature review...
