A Study on Learners' Beliefs about Learner Autonomy in English Language Learning

摘要

The main aim of college English teaching is to realize learner autonomy of English learners. Learners are now increasingly encouraged and expected to play a more active role in the learning. Many researches have been conducted on learner beliefs in language learning or learner autonomy, but few of them involve the learner's beliefs about learner autonomy. This paper reports the results of a comprehensive investigation into Chinese college students' beliefs about learner autonomy. The findings of the study will provide a general picture of learner beliefs held by college students in China and their link with learner autonomy. It can be expected that these findings will help foreign language teachers and learners further understand learner beliefs about learner autonomy, which may enable them to achieve successful college English teaching and learning.
