Abstract
This article discusses the concept of learner autonomy in order to provide the idea of the promotion and development of the autonomous language learning environment which results in the shift from teacher-centered to student-centered approach in the language classroom. The analysis of the students’ attitude has shown that many university students are not ready to take the responsibility for their own learning. In view of this, an attempt is made to shed some light on the parameters such as motivation, learning strategies, self-control and self-assessment which affect learners' capacity and will to learn. Motivation provides the primary impetus to initiate foreign language learning and later the driving force to sustain the long and often tedious learning process. Having a repertoire of learning strategies, which will help students to understand how to learn as well as what to learn, can help students become better motivated and more autonomous learners. Foreign language learning strategies research is built on the idea of fine-tuning teaching techniques for integrating instruction in language learning strategies into the foreign language curriculum. The goal of explicit teaching learning strategies is to help students to consciously control how they learn. The result of this type of teaching is the understanding of the importance of self-control as the means to provide opportunities for feedback improvement through reflection, planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring one's own performance on an ongoing basis, and self-evaluation upon task completion. Self-control has a four-stage development framework of a different degree of a student’s subordination to a teacher. It is expedient to rely on a teacher’s coaching and students’ cooperation while creating an efficient learning environment to enhance students’ self control skills.
