This document discusses learner autonomy in language learning. It defines learner autonomy as students taking responsibility for their own learning by setting goals, developing study plans, reflecting on progress, and assessing their own learning. Promoting learner autonomy in the classroom involves gradually shifting responsibility from the teacher to the students, giving projects for independent work, and emphasizing peer learning and use of self-assessment tools. The importance of learner autonomy includes developing lifelong self-directed learning skills and socially responsible language use.
