ABSTRACT
With the enhancement of teachers’ awareness of learners’ leading position in the
process of foreign language learning, it has e a new trend to foster students’
learning autonomy in English teaching reform, and puter-assisted autonomous
learning centers, serving as a device of promotion, are subsequently established in some
colleges and universities of China. This paper has mainly studied university-leveled
learning autonomy of foreign languages in self-access learning centers, discussing the
situation of the self-access learning center in Chongqing University from the four
aspects, such as the foundation of its theories, the principles of its establishment, the
mode of its management, and the system of its self-assessment. Then through
questionnaires, interviews, observations of the students’ performance in the situation
and analysis of the scores they got, hours they spent and progress they made in the
computer-assisted autonomous learning center, the writer reveals several problems
heavily hindering the development of students’ autonomous petence,
including inappropriate application of learning strategies, lack of motivation, and
deep-rooted dependent consciousness resulting from Chinese traditional teaching model,
and so on. In the end, in order to help students obtain autonomous petence
and e fully independent learners in their life, the paper positively considers some
means of dealing with these problems and puts forward some valuable suggestions
contributing to the improvement of autonomous learning efficiency.
Key words: learning autonomy, self-access learning center, learning strategies
