Language Fluency, Engineering Proficiency: Navigating Autonomy in Learning

M. Bharathi, T. Aditya Sai Srinivas

Abstract


This research explores fostering autonomy in English language learning among engineering students in India. The shift from traditional, teacher-led instruction to student-centered approaches is examined, emphasizing the importance of empowering learners to take charge of their learning process. Strategies such as personalized goal-setting, collaborative learning, and leveraging technology are proposed. Resources like language learning apps, online platforms, and real-world applications are highlighted for their role in promoting autonomy. Additionally, the impact of learner autonomy on language proficiency and career readiness is discussed. Ultimately, the study advocates for a holistic approach to language education that cultivates independence, adaptability, and lifelong learning skills.
