Increasing Learners 'autonomy In Efl Classrooms.

Authors : Madani Habib .

Abstract

Autonomy in learning has always been related to the concepts of independence and self- direction in learning. Actually, autonomous learning has not been given clear guidelines and objectives in most educational programmes. Most of teachers are not really equipped with the theories and the strategies that help them foster the autonomous learning. Most of the time, teachers themselves do not know much about the concept of autonomy, much less about how to practice it in the teaching-learning process. This paper identifies and describes the nature of autonomous learning and its advantages in EFL classrooms. It tackles the different concepts of autonomous learning and attempts to offer guidelines and recommendations for EFL teachers to encourage and enhance their learners’ autonomy in the most effective ways.
