Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled A Case study of the Implementation of Autonomous Learning in English and Chinese Language Studies in a Local Private Secondary School Submitted by Mok Kwan Tei Monica for the degree of Master of Arts (Applied Linguistics) at the University of Hong Kong August, 2005 In recent years, learner autonomy has been promoted at different levels of curriculum, with various age groups and more significantly among tertiary students or young adults as supporting skills for life long learning. This paper explores the implementation of autonomous learning in English and Chinese language studies in a local private secondary school and examines what kind of difficulties and obstacles the students and teachers might encounter. Firstly, the paper looks at the background and the objectives of this particular school. Then the paper also examines the situation to see whether students and teachers are aware of the need and benefits of autonomous learning, and to what extent they have displayed and applied autonomous learning both inside and outside the classroom. Data was collected from a group of 149 F. 4 and F. 6 students in a local private secondary school. The results of this dissertation show that although a significantly high number of students hold positive attitudes towards language learning, they are iimore anxious and spend more time on English language learning than the Chinese. Also, the school does not provide a good environment to foster autonomous learning. For instance, there is no self-access center or library in the school premises. Therefore, the paper concludes by suggesting that both students and language teachers need to be more aware of their roles as language participants because autonomous learning can be a promising means to raise students' awareness of their roles and responsibilities in language learning. Finally in order to achieve the goal of fostering autonomy, English and Chinese language teachers need to examine critically all classroom practices from the perspective of independent learning. iii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3165081 Subjects: English language - Study and teaching (Secondary) - China - Hong Kong Chinese language - Study and teaching (Secondary) - China - Hong Kong Learner autonomy - China - Hong Kong - Case studies Independent study
