Anna Uhl Chamot was Professor Emerita of the Department of Teacher Preparation at George Washington University, USA, as well as Co-Director of the National Capital Language Resource Center. An invited keynote speaker at more than 150 conferences from Singapore to Scotland, she also gave over 600 presentations at major conferences and lecture tours in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy and Argentina. She was actively working in the field right up until her death in November 2017.Vee Harris is Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK where she taught the Modern Languages Teacher Education course. Committed to bridging the gap between theory and practice, she has written school textbooks as well as academic books drawing on classroom-based research projects that she has undertaken in collaboration with practising teachers. Her most recent book is Language Learner Strategies (Bloomsbury, 2017), written with her co-author, Professor Michael Grenfell.

This long-overdue edited collection explores a variety of topics regarding strategy instruction in relation to theory, research, and practice. Its implications for the learner and the teacher are enormous. I highly commend this book, which is undoubtedly a must-read for those interested in strategy instruction in the L2 classroom.
