Learning How to Learn Languages is a student-developed, interactive, open-source online textbook. It is a collaborative effort of five undergraduate students, one graduate student, and a faculty member at the University of Oregon. It offers a comprehensive view of second language learning in one place, providing conceptual perspectives on language learning through a practical lens. This how-to guide is useful for learners of all levels and can be used in various ways: as a complete textbook for a course, as supplemental chapters in language courses, or as self-study. It contains ten chapters: five chapters on different foundational aspects of language learning followed by five additional chapters on language skills and their integration with practical strategies and example stories from learners. This OER incorporates various visual elements such as illustrations, student-created videos, authors’ stories, and H5P activities with built-in feedback for learners to engage independently. An interactive, accessible, and up to date web version is available at https://opentext.uoregon.edu/languagelearningedition1/.
