The autonomy learner is the person who has the

7、ability of supervising their learning behavior, setting up goals according to their practical conditions, making out learning plans, choosing learning strategies, monitoring learning process and making self-assessment and self-evaluation in time.

8、ers, which is one of the main obstacles in middle school English teaching. In order to know whether the ability of autonomy learning benefits to middle school learners on their English study, a recent experiment proved that students in experimental class made greater progress than those in the contr

9、ol class. Thus Students autonomy learning ability is obviously the basic requirements of the latest education reform. Besides, autonomy learning ability is not only the requirements of the quality education, but the needs of students individual development. It is believed that the autonomy learning

IntroductionIn ou

16、r traditional English teaching, the teachers were the central part, while the students play passive roles. The teachers chief task is to transfer knowledge to students because they act as the possessor, the disseminator of the knowledge and the treasure house of information. Over time, students thin

17、k that the teachers were the authority and they even do not know what they should do without teachers help. As a result, the traditional teaching doesnt help with students development, but produces a lot of students of high score but poor ability.Thus, an idea of learning and teaching come up as the

18、 times require. It is the conception of autonomous learning which was put forward in the 1960s. But not untill recent years were the new methods put into practice which gives new requirements to English teaching and changes the position of both the teacher and the student. Teachers are no longer the

19、 host of knowledge but the learners are the main body of learning. Only when the students have developed autonomous learning abilities can they do well in their future whole-life learning. Though it is a problem to make the learners adapt autonomy learning within a very short time, teacher can help

20、them to understand how important a tool the autonomous learning is.In this paper, the writer manages to analyze the vital role of the autonomy learning, the characteristics and the methods of cultivating middle school students autonomy learning with the hope of helping English teachers and learners

21、to change their traditional belief in learning and teaching. Autonomy LearningA. Definition Since the 1860s, many western famous educators have put forward the autonomy learning theory. They were the pioneers of education career, and their theory has played a pivotal role in our education field. Jea

22、n Piaget stated that all truth should be gained or rediscovered by students rather than simply handed to them. Holec regarded autonomy as the ability to take charge of ones own learning. Kenny stated that autonomy is not only the freedom to learn but also the opportunity to become a person. Dickings

23、on held that autonomy is a situation in which the learner is completely responsible for all of the decisions concerned with their learning and the implementation of these decisions. The writer in this paper does not agree Holec any more, autonomy learning ability is a kind of ability that one can ta

24、ke charge of ones own learning process independently, including making study goals, being clear about the study content, adapting to the learning environment and overcoming psychological problems.B. Characteristics 1. Setting goals and making plans before learning Drawing up learning plans can impro

25、ve ones learning. Based on their own reality, every student should have his own learning objectives, learning to arrange self-learning time and learning task. Besides, a good learning plan makes the students clink their learning achievement to the goals of learning, which makes learning process a cl

26、ear purpose, so as to promote the realization of the target of the learning.2. Monitoring their learning In the traditional education mode, teachers play the chief role, while students accept knowledge passively. But in the autonomy learning mode students explore independently under the guidance of

27、teachers. Students change from passive knowledge receivers into active knowledge obtainers, and teaching means has also been changed from the simple knowledge transferring to arousing students inner learning motivation.3. Commenting and improving their learning Constructivism pays special attention

28、to students subject status, which confirms that knowledge is scholars subjective construction. That is to say, the independent learning does not mean teachers should directly tell students how to solve the problems they face, but provide students relevant clues to help them solve the problems, make

29、them analyze and think about it in order to develop their autonomy learning ability. Autonomy learning is not a kind of learning that restricted by time, place and material, but a set of learning methods allowing students to choose their learning time, place, the methods and content of learning inde

30、pendently, making a plan, learning feedback and evaluation. By the way, it is different from self-learning. Self-learning is the same as individual enclosed learning, while in autonomy learning, according to their own learning situation, students can choose learning companions, to learn from others, make up their shortcomes in a mutual relationship of communication and help during the learning process. Einstein pointed out that it is more important to put a question than t
