Relationship Between Learner Autonomy and English Language Proficiency of Japanese Learners by Shien Sakai and Akiko Takagi, 2009
PROBLEM STATEMENT
O Students who are autonomous have locus of control in
learning; an individuals belief system regarding the causes
of his or her experience and the factors to which that person
attributes success or failure (Barzegar, 2011).
O Autonomy is the ability to take charge of ones own learning (Holec, 1981).
O This paper chooses Holecs definition of learner autonomy, which covers the following
five items: goal setting, content and progress setting, learning techniques selecting,
monitoring progress and evaluating learning results.
O The reasons for choosing Holecs definition of learner autonomy may consist in its
holistic view of the learner that requires us to engage with the cognitive, meta-
cognitive, affective and social dimensions of language learning.
