Question

Autonomous learning refers to students' ability to take charge of their own learning process, setting goals, selecting strategies, and self-evaluating progress. Digital technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for autonomous English learning through apps, online platforms, podcasts, and authentic materials. However, effective autonomy requires explicit instruction in learning strategies, digital literacy skills, and critical evaluation of online resources. Teachers play a crucial role in scaffolding learner autonomy rather than simply assigning independent work. Responsible technology use involves understanding privacy concerns, identifying credible sources, managing screen time, and recognizing AI limitations. How can English teachers effectively promote genuine learner autonomy while ensuring responsible technology use?

Accepted Answer

B) Teachers should provide explicit training in learning strategies and digital literacy, guide students in setting realistic goals, teach evaluation of online resources, scaffold self-assessment skills, and discuss responsible technology practices.

Answer

A) Responsible technology use means students must memorize internet safety rules without actual practice or critical thinking about digital contexts, sources, privacy, or appropriate communication online.

Answer

C) Teachers should eliminate all guidance and simply tell students to use any websites or apps independently without instruction, support, or discussion about effective strategies or responsible practices. 6

Answer

D) Autonomous learning means students work completely alone without any teacher interaction, feedback, or instructional support, as any guidance contradicts the principle of learner independence and self-direction.
