Resumen
- This paper reports on establishing and running a Self-Access Centre (SAC) in a secondary school in Hong Kong. The impetus for establishing the SAC came from new government curriculum guidelines with a focus on promoting greater autonomy for school students in their English language education. The approach taken in establishing the SAC was to include as many staff as possible in discussions about how to develop autonomy in the school; to ensure teacher development was part of the process of creating the SAC; and to allow students to share in helping to develop, stock, and run the SAC.
