Subject: Citing Resources - Autonomy in Second Language Acquisition

There are different points of view on whether or not autonomy also involves a 'situational' element (i.e., the freedom to exercise control over your own learning). These differences explain why it is so hard to state the exact meaning of autonomy. The most common prospect in the literature is one from Holec (1981, apud Maláter, 2002, Section II, para. 2) who defines autonomy as “the ability to take charge of one’s own learning”. According to Dickinson (1994), “autonomy in language learning is essentially a matter of attitude to learning” (p. 4).
