AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF CULTIVATING STUDENTS AUTONOMOUS LEARNING CAPACITY IN COLLEGE ENGLISH TEACHING

本文通过对国内外自主学习理论的探讨,结合我校扩招以来学生英语水平参差不齐的现状,提出了大学英语教学中培养学生自主学习能力的教学模式和做法,比如分层次教学,个体化教学和合作语言学习等。其目的在于探索一条注重个性发展,培养学生英语综合应用能力的新途径。我校两年的教学实验表明,培养学生自主学习能力有利于激发学生的学习兴趣,促进学生自我发展。

This paper is a two-year empirical investigation of cultivating students' autonomous learning capacity in College English teaching at Shanxi University of Finance and Economics (SUFE). The goal of the study is to optimize students' language learning and to find a new direction of teaching innovation. The paper analyzes the current teaching context and presents a critical review of the literature on learner autonomy. The author explores understanding of learner autonomy in Chinese context and produces an autonomous learning model in the experimental study. The paper presents some strategies for fostering autonomy such as instructing students how to learn, level-based teaching and collaborative learning. It was found that only by encouraging greater learner autonomy can students raise their English learning effectiveness.
