| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to investigate the practice of learner autonomy in learning EFL by grade 11 students of Abadir Secondary School. Since the main objective of the study was to describe the extent to which learner autonomy was practiced in the target area, the method employed in the study was descriptive. To achieve this, questionnaire, interview, classroo,m observ.a tion, focus group discussion and students' diaries were used for ,d ata collection. Because there were 60 students and 2 English language teachers, all .o f them, were involved in the stud-y using questionnaire and interview respectively. Besides, stratified random sampling method'was used to se'lect students jor focus group 'discussion and diary writinfJ. The result of the study shows that most grade 11 students of Abadir Secondary School didn't adequately practice to use cognitive, metacognitive and socio-affectivfj! strategies in learning English in their own ways. This is mainly because their teachers did not provide them with adequate support, opportunity, training, guidance and freedom to do s o. The other factors that hindered their practices are lack of motivation, lack of self-confidence, lack of experience and the influence of exams. In conclusion, the study indicates that learner autonomy was adequately practiced in learning EFL by most grade 11 students of Abadir Secondary School and English language teacher didn't play adequate roles in helping the s tudents practice learner autonomy. Therefore, teachers are recommended to play the central role in creating opportunities for students to learn and practice the language. Students should also take responsibility for their own learning and learn English in their own ways. In addition, further study should be conducted in order to arrive at a comprehensive conclusion. | en_US |
