- Abstract
Recently learner autonomy has received much attention in the field of language teaching and learning. After reviewing much literature, this study surveyed 42 non-English majors in Beijing Electronic Science and Technology Institute on their English language autonomous learning competence. The findings showed the participants were generally low in learner autonomy competence. Reasons were also discussed in this paper. Students’ motivation, attitude towards learner autonomy and lack of metacognitive knowledge account for this phenomenon. Teachers and students should take positive attitude towards learner autonomy and both of them must take on and adjust to the new roles in teaching and learning. Metacognition is important for language learner. Also ICT use in language learning (e-learning) is an option to promote learner autonomy.
