This paper sets out to discuss the concept of learner autonomy in second language teaching and learning from a perspective of language awareness. It starts from an investigation of two senses of language awareness (LA) for an explanation of learner autonomy. Next, it addresses the role of LA in both mother tongue and second language learning. The weakness of the grammar translation method and communicative approach in second language teaching and learning is examined in the light of the two senses of LA. Finally, it describes the LA activities carried out with the English majors in the tertiary EFL classroom. Principles underlying the design of such activities are also discussed from a perspective of language awareness and learner autonomy.
