LEARNER AUTONOMY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING AT THE TERTIARY LEVEL IN THAILAND: THEORY, CHALLENGES, AND PRACTICES
คำสำคัญ:
Learner Autonomy, English Language Learning, Tertiary Level, Thailandบทคัดย่อ
This article explores Learner Autonomy (LA) in English language learning. Theoretical perspectives are used to discuss how LA has been conceptualized and defined at various levels and dimensions. These definitions are considered in terms of their applicability to the Thai higher education context. The article further discusses the role of technology and pedagogical practices in promoting autonomous language learning while recognizing issues related to learners, cultures, and technology. Ultimately, the article indicates that LA needs to be encouraged within the context of Thai higher education through a gradual process with structured support, and that developing teacher autonomy is critical to supporting the long-term development of LA in Thai higher education.
