This paper discusses the form and use of learning contracts in second language teaching and learning. It suggests that learning contracts are an ideal means to offer language learners greater opportunities to work toward, and achieve, individual goals. Learning contracts are discussed within the framework of self‐directed learning. A brief definition of self‐directed learning is followed by a discussion of the purpose and function of learning contracts and the role of instructors and learners who use them. Guidelines for implementing learning contracts are supported by sample contracts. The discussion shows how learning contracts allow learners and instructors to work together to help learners work toward personal language learning goals
