help their own learners to become autonomous, was investigated by means of a readiness scale. The research
group of the study was composed of 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students at a university English Language Teaching
Department. The testing instrument used is a scale developed by Fisher et al (2001), containing 42 testing
items grouped in three components as “self-direction”, “desire for learning”, and “self-control”. The results
constitute 48 groups of data. Within the scope of the present paper, 13 of these groups of data are selected as
prominent and discussed and evaluated subsequently.  <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Boğazici University}
