Crossroads of Speaking Practice and Autonomy
Although educators provide students with a proper learning environment, including suitable materials, instruction, and advice, their goal is to help students become autonomous learners. An English teacher at a language school and a language advisor created materials together to integrate the enhancement of students’ speaking skills with advising techniques. The report showed that the crossroads of these ideas could enhance students’ language proficiency and self-study skills.
