People have cited good sources.  Here is a list I have compiled
of books that are meant for learner training -- either aimed directly
at learners or through their teachers.  This gets a bit far afield of the
original query which was related to literature on who the good learners
are.  This literature is more on making good learners out of any learners.

I heard J. D. Brown speak at the TESOL conference in San Antonio. (What year was
that?)  He had begun some research on predicting cloze test item difficulty by
identifying the different factors that relate to difficulty (e.g. catphoric vs.
anaphoric reference) and running stats to show the amount of difficulty that
can be identified as coming from each.  I have yet to see any final results of
this research published.  If anyone knows more about this, please let me know
where I can find published information.

Subject:      What makes language learning successful?

Dear Everyone,
A friend of mine is conducting a research on the characteristics
of successful foreign language learning. The question she is asking
is something like why some people are more successful than others
in learning a foreign language. The specific issues she is addressing include
learning strategies and learning enviormenment. The books that I
can think of now are 1. E. Stevick's study of the seven successful
foreign language learners, 2. R. Oxford's book on learning strategies
and 3. the chapter on metacognition in the book of "Handbook of
REading Resrearch... Can anyone help by giving her more references?
Thanks a lot.

Kate,

You might also try contacting Dr. Richard Schmidt at the U of Hawaii, Manoa
as some time ago he kept track of his experiences learning Portuguese while
in Brazil. I also know tht he published his findings in one of the major
journals in the field, though which one and when escapes me.

From:         Gail Guntermann <ATGCG@ASUACAD.BITNET>
Subject:      Re: intensive lg course

On the basis of experience with intensive programs for the Peace Corps
and Middlebury College, I would say that three weeks is not enough.
Middlebury gives a semester in seven weeks, four hours of class per
day, no English allowed at any time in any way for six of those weeks.
The students are extremely carefully selected.  At the end of the program
most go into second year at their universities and do well.

From both types of intensive programs, our experience was that four
hours of class daily was as much as one should do; after that, it's
a matter of diminishing returns.  If you have a no-English policy,
they go on learning without being in class, and practicing what they
have been learning, integrating it as they use it.  If you have TV,
reading materials, movies, music, games, etc., in the language, that
helps,too.

I base my comments on experience with Spanish; Japanese or even German
would take longer.  These programs do "work," definitely, in that
the qualitiy of the learning is much greater than in spread-out
courses.  On the other hand, not as much material can be "covered"
because of the lack of study time between classes.

It seems that the materials and methods don't matter as much as
they do in a regular program, but that's just an observation
unsupported with any kind of hard data.  Students need lots of
opportunity to communicate, that's the main thing.  And they need
a reference grammar and plenty of exercises to do on their own.
But communicative practice is the key.

MESSAGE FROM THE LINGUISTS' NAMESERVER

As many of you will know, for the last two years or so a Nameserver for
Linguists, Psycholinguists, Phoneticians, Computer Linguists and other
workers in the Language and Speech Sciences has been available at
LINGUISTS@ALF.LET.UVA.NL.
        There are now about 6500 addresses in the database, representing
the e-mail addresses of about 4000 persons and institutions. In addition
we have recently started recording the FAX addresses of institutions.
        Obviously a list such as this is subject to rapid degradation in
quality, as people shift from one institution to another, computer systems
are altered and so on. To ensure that the list remains up to date, and
reasonably complete, we rely on the cooperation of the people on the list itself
to inform us of changes to their own e-mail addresses and those of others.
        There are some kind souls who keep us up to date on all the relevant
people at their own institutions, or the people they are regularly in contact
with, but in general we rely on individuals to tell us about their own
addresses.
        This is a reminder to people who have changed e-mail addresses in the
last year to tell us about this, and to others who did not know of our
existence to provide us with their addresses. If your address is in the list
incorrectly, it may well cause delay to people who want to contact you.
        This message is being sent to all the language-related discussion
groups we know of, plus the local distribution relay addresses of the
LINGUIST discussion list. This may mean that you get this message two or more
times. Try not to get irritated with us.
        To check whether your name is on our list, send the message (subject
line irrelevant):

list SURNAME
(replace SURNAME with your own surname)

to:
linguists@alf.let.uva.nl

You should then get back the entry if any which the Nameserver has for you.
        If the entry is wrong you have to REMOVE the wrong entry, and ADD the
correct one. Let us say the wrong entry is:

        william carmichael: carm@sun202.ptmoresby.pg

and you want to replace it with:

        william j carmichael: wjc@marriage-buro.reno.nv.us

Then you require to send the following instructions:

remove carmichael, william: carm@sun202.ptmoresby.pg
add carmichael, william j: wjc@marriage-buro.reno.nv.us

Your entry will now be correct.

NB. There is a help message. To get it send:

Jianhua,

Your friend would do well to consult the earlier writings of H.H. Stern
and Joan Rubin on the characterisitcs of good language learners.  Rubin
coauthored a book (with Thompson) directed towards students.  It is a
how-to book about foreign language learning.  It was published in 1982
I believe.

...anybody that I'm doing this.  My life wouldn't be worth a plug nickel
if they found out, but somebody's got to speak up.  Everybody lives
in a constant state of barely-concealed terror around here.  There's
no telling who they'll accuse next, or of what.  Trusted lieutenant's
of thirty years' standing have been unceremoniously taken out to
quad and fed to the wolverines, and I don't know how much longer any
of us can continue to ignore the hideous shrieks coming from the
basement "re-education center."  If help doesn't come soon, we'll
try to get out on our own, but they've had the razor wire on top of
the wall electrified, and every day another failed "junior executive"
is led out of the basement sobbing and used to train the Dobermans,
so you may not hear from me again.
There follows a transcript taken from a wire placed, at great personal
risk, in the conference room which connects the Headquarters office
suites:

(Rattle of ice in glasses.  Girlish giggles.)

LIBALP:  Quite, darlin'.  Daddy's talking business.  No, put that back
on, I can't play right now.

LIBWCA:  You need to learn to handle your cheerleaders, boy.

LIBALP:  What can I say. I'm a softy.  Pour me some of that.

(Pouring sounds)

LIBWCA:  Hey, hey, hey... go easy on that?  That Lafite-Rothschild,
son.

LIBALP:  Damn good, too.  Ever mix it with fresca?

(Silence)

LIBALP:  Hey, it's just grape juice.

LIBWCA:  Are the troops in place around the CHEATING bunker?

LIBALP:  Ready and waiting.  The Supreme CHEATING went off code 9
after that last post.

LIBWCA:  Good.  Good.  With Foss neutralized, our position is invincible.
Together, we shall rule the world.

(Fiendish laughter)
(Clicking glasses)
(Girlish giggles, followed by slapping noise)
