Implication of "Learner Autonomy" for Teaching

• use the target language as the preferred medium of classroom communication and require the same of her learners;

• involve her learners in a non-stop quest for good learning activities, which are shared, discussed, analysed and evaluated with the whole class – in the target language, to begin with in very simple terms;

• help her learners to set their own learning targets and choose their own learning activities, subjecting them to discussion, analysis and evaluation – again, in the target language;

• require her learners to identify individual goals but pursue them through collaborative
work in small groups;

• require her learners to keep a written record of their learning – plans of lessons and projects, lists of useful vocabulary, whatever texts they themselves produce;

• engage her learners in regular evaluation of their progress as individual learners and as a class – in the target language.
