On Developing Middle School Students’ Autonomous Learning Ability in English20.doc

PAGE  PAGE 19 On Developing Middle School Students’ Autonomous Learning Ability in English Abstract: Autonomous learning ability is one of the most important abilities in English learning. In the volatile information ages, in special, the autonomous learning is necessary for everyone else’s life-long learning and life-long development. However, most of the current middle school students are lack of this learning ability. The mind of waiting, dependence and demanding has gradually increased among them. Basically, they are forced to learn with the accompaniment by their parents and the rigorous monitoring of their teachers. As a result, children (students) themselves are unwilling to learn; their parents are very tired with doing so but have no choice and even worse, their teachers have no idea on what to do. Through most current studies, one of the findings is that the problem of lacking autonomy is virtually serious among middle school students, since it is difficult for them to control themselves or to take their responsibilities for their English learning, which has raised people’s widespread concerns. After researching and studying, another finding is that the reasons for lacking autonomy are various. Apart from some reasons from students themselves, family, school, as well as society should be blamed. The main solution of this problem is that the whole society should focus enough attention on developing the learning autonomy of middle school students.
