Abstract: Abstract Fostering Learner Autonomy among Weak Students via Information Technology submitted by Annie Leung Kit Mui for the degree of Master of Arts (Applied Linguistics) at the University of Hong Kong September 2004 Learner autonomy is being promoted at different levels of curriculum, age groups, and more significantly among tertiary students or young adults as supporting skills to life long learning. This dissertation examines autonomous learning among weak learners aiming at post secondary level, making use of Information Technology (IT). The potential of IT in web reading and email communication for authentic language resources to enhance autonomous learning is the key issue to be examined. Autonomous learning was approached in three dimensions: learners' participation in the learning process, utilizing IT as the learning mode and establishing roles in self-management. This study attempts to find out how weak students can develop learner autonomy in second language learning. The research investigation is based on students' perceptions of learner autonomy; the effectiveness of IT and email communication; and learners' awareness of their roles and responsibilities. Questionnaires, email replies and interviews were used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Students' views were interpreted for indication of the degree of learner autonomy being developed among the participants. On the whole, the results showed positive comments and supported IT as the learning and communication tool. This study was only an introductory training for weak learners and the subjects showed an increased use of English web pages as their fundamental integration of IT as the learning mode. Finally implications for teachers' roles and concern for proper use of the Internet are discussed. It is generally felt that autonomous learning can be a promising means to raise students' awareness of their roles and responsibilities in language learning, although the involvement of teacher's role is equally important for successful learner autonomy implementation.
