| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The current study suggested that the provision of strategies for learning English through computers can lead to slight increases in motivation, but learners are unable to utilise these strategies properly. As long as learners do not know how to improve upon their learning methods, they are unlikely to develop learner autonomy. Through providing learners with an opportunity to discuss their strategies with others, learners become more willing to engage in tasks and think more deeply about the language learning process. This results in learners reflect on the strategies that they use, and this is thought to lead to development of learner autonomy.
