dc.description.abstract"This research project aims to explore the relationship between learner autonomy and English as a Foreign Language (EFL), emphasizing their relevance in fostering an effective and sustained language acquisition process. The research delves into how autonomous learning practice contribute to students’ linguistic development by encouraging self-regulation, independent engagement with English language outside the classroom, and the use of personalized learning and study strategies. Through qualitative data derived from surveys and interviews with EFL teachers, this project examines how autonomy is interpreted, implemented, and supported in real educational scenarios, as well as the educational approaches used to promote independent learning attitudes. By analyzing the participants’ experiences, this study highlights the ways in which autonomy empowers students by increasing motivation, responsibility, goal-setting abilities, and exposure to meaningful language input. The findings reveal that technology, reflective learning, and context-based materials are important tools to foster autonomy, while obstacles such as low motivation, time constraints, digital distractions, and dependance on the teacher guidance may delay its development. The study also identifies pedagogical implications, noticing the crucial role teachers play as facilitators and guides in helping students develop the necessary skills to become autonomous".
