On Relationship between Teacher Autonomy and Learner Autonomy

Abstract:

In the process of the development of learner autonomy, teachers play a very important role, even determining to some extent whether learner autonomy can be realized. However, there is a lack of strong finks in theories concerning the relationships of learner autonomy, language proficiency, and teacher autonomy. This article explores the relationships between teacher autonomy and learner autonomy in terms of autonomy theory and teaching application and formulates the opinions that teacher autonomy does have positive effects on learner autonomy to some extent and learners with autonomous learning ability can make faster progress in language proficiency than those without learner autonomy
