CALL, LEARNER AUTONOMY & TEACHERS' ROLE IN LEARNING ENGLISH
Mustafizur rRhman:
Can we have some suggestions from you to guide our students to become autonomous learners?
Mustafizur rRhman:
CALL can have a positive impact on learner autonomy when teachers play an active role in it. The findings indicate that learners' perceptions vary largely according to the level of their computer literacy although the students' perceptions may be modified through positive or negative relationships with other students and the teacher. The study concludes with three conditions necessary for successful autonomous learning: 1) accessible and reliable technology, 2) sufficient computer literacy in students, and 3) good communication with and support from peers.
Mustafizur rRhman:
Published researches in recent years show that learners are genuinely raising their level of proficiency in the target language being autonomous and with the help of CALL. The study also reports an increase in motivation levels when students are using computers for educational tasks. Because this is a technological society, students are more likely to be motivated by learning which involves computers. This is an encouraging instance of learner autonomy, which modern teaching methodology regards as a highly desirable outcome which CALL claims to promote. The study finds that CALL generates opportunities for learners to become self-reliant and learners think harder and generate deeper thoughts with the use of CALL.
shipra:
The students can become autonomous learner by trying themselves.They should try on their own.They should think,They should brainstorm themselves.
Mustafizur rRhman:
A number of the abilities associated with learner autonomy are likely to be promoted when the learners are expected to become more self-reliant such as making decisions about learning, taking responsibility for learning, planning and goal setting, and self-assessment. Foreign language learning, by its nature, requires motivation, cultural knowledge, social context and the higher order thinking skills of synthesis and analysis and CALL fulfills all these requirements. The work also affirms that in CALL the teacher has a great role to play in developing students' sense of autonomy as well as to suggest the right materials for them.
