Breaking with Chinese Cultural Traditions: Learner Autonomy in English Language Teaching.

Ho, Judy; Crookall, David

System, v23 n2 p235-43 May 1995

Basic thinking regarding certain aspects of learner autonomy is presented as well as certain cultural traits that may impede the promotion of autonomy. The use of large-scale simulation can create a learning environment that promotes autonomy. It is concluded that concrete acts of taking responsibility imbue the learner with a sense of autonomy.
