A Study on College Students’ Learner Autonomy in English Listening
Abstract
Since the College English Curriculum Requirements was enacted, two main objectives have been prescribed for college English teaching. One objective is to develop students’ abilities to use English, especially in listening and speaking. The other objective is to improve their abilities of autonomous learning. Obviously, it is important to cultivate students’ abilities of autonomous learning, especially the ability of listening autonomous learning. Based on the concept of autonomous learning, this paper aims at discussing how to cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability and improve the students’ English listening level.References
