Popis: Welcome to this special issue of SiSAL Journal, dedicated to exploring the current landscape of self-access and self-directed language learning in Europe. In this collection of articles, we look at various aspects of language learner support across the continent, highlighting innovative practices and emerging trends. The idea for the special issue was prompted by a one-year sabbatical based in Italy from April 2023 to March 2024 for two of the editors who are usually based in Japan (David McLoughlin, Jo Mynard). We were researching language learning beyond the classroom and systems for supporting language learners, and we were hoping to learn about current research and practice by editing this issue. We were fortunate to meet Elena Borsetto, a well-connected, multilingual and expert language specialist early in our time in Italy and we decided that the three of us would make a good team to compile this special issue.
