Abstract

Learner autonomy has recently been introduced to China as one of the efficacious, potential-developing teaching patterns. Increasing attention has been drawn to the importance of autonomy in language learning and teaching. Autonomy has in fact become a central theme in language instruction. Autonomy will facilitate learners to apply the knowledge acquired in a given context to different situations. However, learners autonomy cannot be analyzed and fulfilled thoroughly without taking account of teachers’ roles in correlated interaction of teaching and learning. Based on its nature and its great effect on the promotion of language teaching, this paper chiefly centers around the major roles English teachers play in learner autonomy and their contribution to the development of language teaching.
