Abstract This study examined Persian intermediate and advanced EFL learners’ perceptions regarding (a) their own and their teachers’ responsibility in learning language autonomously; (b) their decision making ability in learning language autonomously; and (c) their autonomous learning activities inside and outside the classroom. To this end, a questionnaire designed by Chan, Spratt, and Humphrey (2002) was distributed among 67 intermediate and 65 advanced EFL learners. Statistical analysis of students’ answers showed that overall, advanced learners tended to assume more responsibility for their own learning, to perceive themselves to be highly capable of autonomous learning, and to practice more autonomous learning activities compared to the intermediate learners. In addition, data collected through the interviews with some of the participants suggested that learners’ perceptions were greatly affected by their previous educational experiences. Since intermediate learners were not largely engaged in making decisions related to educational materials and activities used in their classrooms, they considered themselves as less responsible for and consequently less capable of choosing learning materials and activities. The findings of the study, along with the pedagogical implications, are discussed.

In the paper the interactive multimedia network autonomous learning platform is analyzed, through which its use case diagram is presented. The autonomous learning platform consists of user register module, user login module, teacher profile module, discussion and Q/A module, online test module, learning video module, system introduction module, material download module and backstage administration module. Primarily, the design and development of the platform is meant to solve the problem of data exchange between database and pages. Data are updated or deleted when the data of pages are transmitted to backstage database. The implementation of the autonomous learning platform fulfills people’s urgent demands of the online education, settles the drawback that education and being educated in traditional approach cannot be conducted at different time and in different places, and enhances the efficiency of teacher’s teaching and students’ learning enormously as well.

With the popularization of multi-media and network technology, some Chinese schools are applying the high technology to the class. The author believes that the model of teaching and learning focus on the establishment of multi-media class environment and the after-school autonomous learning system. The utilization reflects the development process of the combination of modern information technology and English teaching. The modern teaching technology, which includes multi-media, network system and various teaching aids, enriched the choice of teaching resources and provided plenty of materials for teaching so as to supply more opportunities for students. The applications of information transition to class, such as multi-media and network technology are increasingly concerned and favored by teachers and students and have becoming one of the best devices for modern education. The author of this paper divide the application of multi-media and network technology to English teaching into two parts according to the experience of teaching practice and the utilization of language lab: the language class environment based on the use of multi-media and the after-school autonomous learning system based on network technology.

This paper reports the results of a research work that has sought to investigate the characteristics of students’ management of their English language learning and has attempted to correlate it with effective, independent, autonomous learning. It stresses the importance of improving students ‘learning how to learn skills’ through implementing an instructional programme based on autonomy fostering. It is undeniable that the ultimate objective of Education is targeting quality assurance and enhancement for facing twenty first century education challenges. Therefore, the primary goal of higher education is to prepare learners to function independently and appropriately into this world in constant motion. It is our role as teachers to equip them with the necessary tools and skills so that they manage both content and the way to learn it and use it for future employability objectives. Major researches in the area of learner autonomy in language learning will be reviewed drawing the characteristics of the autonomous learning behaviour as well as the main variables influencing its practice. The research adhered to a descriptive interpretative type of research, where we have attempted to investigate whether students were able to manage, monitor and self-regulate their learning and make it more self-directed and more successful. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected thanks to a triangulation of research tools used before and after the instruction in learning skills and competencies. Some of the results revealed that while for the majority of learners, autonomy fostering was welcomed and gave significant results, not all students were ready to function independently from a teacher for their language learning.
