An Investigation of College English Autonomous Learning in Network Multimodal Context

In the current society, based on the growing development of network information technology, the teaching in many colleges and universities has also introduced it to adapt to the situation. This trend can provide more useful conditions for students to learn, which requires students to master enough self-learning abilities to adapt to this model. The study in the paper shows that students are usually interested in autonomous learning in a multimodal environment, but the degree of strategy choice is relatively low, and the learning process is blind and passive with the lack of self-confidence. Facing the future, schools should actively integrate into network thinking, and teachers should change their roles and train and guide students’ learning strategies and learning motivations, so as to achieve better teaching results.

Research on the Construction of English Autonomous Learning Monitoring Mode under the Background of Big Data

The era of big data is coming,the combination of big data and traditional teaching can provide more and more accurate services for students'self-learning,and it is a good way to teach students according to their aptitude.In this background,a learning society is coming,which aiming at learning,autonomous learning and lifelong learning.Learning society emphasize the ability of learning autonomy for students unprecedentedly.Learning is no longer limited to the campus.Learning ability will accompany learners'social life and become an active and healthy lifelong activity.Autonomous learning is a learning theory that goes with the requirements of The Times and has a broad development prospect.The study of Autonomous learning not only has a very important guiding significance for the educational and teaching practice in China,but also plays an important role in the life development of every student.The subject of learning is gradually transferred from the classroom,teachers and textbooks to the students themselves.Teachers should not only impart knowledge and answer questions,but also,most importantly,teach students how to exert their autonomy in autonomous learning.After investigating and researching the existing monitoring model of autonomous English learning in colleges and universities,our group found that in practice,there is a lack of corresponding monitoring mechanisms and means,and autonomous learning has gradually become formalized.Therefore,according to the actual situation of autonomous English learning in our country's universities,the monitoring model of autonomous English learning has been reconstructed,and an effective comprehensive evaluation system has been established to effectively improve students'English learning ability.

On Cognitive Style in English Web-based Autonomous Learning

Since Henry Holec first put forward the term‘Autonomy'in 1980's, autonomous learning has been drawing the universal attention of scholars both at home and abroad. Promoting learners' ability of self-regulated learning has been taken as one of the important goals of modern education. College English autonomous learning based on network environment does not mean free study without any restraints or monitoring, but rather involves the self-monitoring and external monitoring. Meanwhile, different learners may have different cognitive styles in their learning processes, which may have an influence on the improvement of the learners' efficiency in the autonomous language learning. Proper monitoring models coordinating with the students' different field cognitive styles.
