Many language learners, particularly those who may be studying in non-degree programs or even in an extracurricular mode, struggle to sustain their motivation for learning and to find an effective way to learn. Advising for language learning is offered in many self-access learning centers in Japan to support these students. In these sessions, a learner and an advisor engage in a dialogic reflective process to help the learner articulate their needs and goals, make a plan for learning, and sustain their learning routine. In this webinar I will introduce a basic model of advising and suggest how it can be used in both language center and classroom environments.
