English Language Instructors’ Conception of Learner Autonomy

Öz

Independent learning has gained a special attention in English Language Teaching (ELT) for fairly forty years. And in recent years, the prominence of autonomous learning as well as the active participation of students in leading their studies, not only in but also out of the classroom, has been dramatically acknowledged. Typically, the traditional teaching style is missing this attribute and the students are not engaged in the learning process. Though, confirming that students are prepared to undertake this responsibility as well as maintaining them in such a role is often said not to be clear in rehearsal. Thus, it is indispensable to explore the English language teachers’ conceptions of learner autonomy and find out if they have the means for fostering it in their classrooms. Hence, the current study examined the EFL teachers’ conceptions of learner autonomy and to what extent their understanding was applied in their actual teaching practice. To do so, 36 English language teachers were the participants in this study. Utilizing a mixed method, the researcher used a questionnaire and semi-structure interviews to collect the required data for the current study. The results showed that the teachers’ actual teaching practices contradicted with their theoretical conceptions about learner autonomy.
