Forming Language Learner's Autonomy Skills by Online Learning
Main Article Content
Abstract
Language learner autonomy, the ability to take control of one's own learning, is a crucial skill that empowers learners to become independent, self-regulated, and effective language learners. With the increasing prevalence of online learning, there is a growing need to explore how online platforms can be leveraged to promote learner autonomy. This article examines the potential of online learning to enhance language learner autonomy skills. It discusses the key components of learner autonomy, explores how online learning can support the development of these skills, and provides practical strategies for educators to promote learner autonomy in online language learning environments. The article also highlights the benefits of fostering learner autonomy and discusses the challenges and considerations involved in implementing autonomous learning practices in online language learning contexts. This article aims to provide insights and recommendations for educators seeking to promote learner autonomy through online learning.
