This article argues that both teacher control and learner autonomy play an important role in the process of foreign language learning. Too much or too little control may lead to the failure of learning effectively. Tasks can be accomplished effectively through teacher＇s balancing teacher control and learner autonomy. A teacher can play different roles in the process of teaching reading to balance teacher control and learner autonomy. In this way, teacher＇s proper control and learner freedom occur and language learning may be more effective.展开更多

Most researchers concentrate on ESL classroom interaction, learning strategies on autonomy learning, learner autonomy, teacher autonomy, and so on. Little research considers various aspects of autonomous learning meanwhile, let alone how to guide a Chinese college English teacher to cultivate autonomy learners on the basis of relevant findings. It is proved that to promote learner autonomy is an important direction and breakthrough of College English Teaching reform in China. Thus, the paper is intended to offer a series of operational, accessible, and effective suggestions for the development of learner autonomy in China. It is expected hopefully that these suggestions can promote learners to become successful autonomy learners and improve their language learning efficiency.展开更多
