【摘要】 促进学习者自主性是近20年来外语教学界的热门话题，也是今后外语教学的新趋势。许多语言学家、学者围绕“学习者自主”的不同方面展开了大量地研究和探讨，并取得了丰硕的成果。本研究的理论依据源于自主学习的人文理论，基于最近发展区理论和发现式学习理论。研究对象来自江西某商贸学院的160名非英语专业大二学生，采用问卷调查考察了男女生及文理科学生在自主学习方面的异同，通过SPSS对调查结果进行了统计分析。并对八名学生进行访谈，以便更深了地了解学生自主学习的能力以及存在的问题。本文研究的四个问题为：（1）高职院校非英语专业学生自主学习的整体状况如何？（2）非英语专业男女学生在英语学习自主性是否存在差异？（3）不同专业的学生在英语学习自主行中是否存在差别？（4）非英语专业学生自主性与英语学习成绩是否存在相关性？研究表明：（1）大多数学生的自主学习能力普遍偏低，实际情况不容乐观。（2）总体而言，女生的外语自主学习能力比男生的自主学习能力强。（3）文科生比理科生的自主学习能力强。（4）学生的学习成绩与自主学习呈正相关。作者提出了一些尝试性的建议。首先，提高学习者自主意识，让她们成为学习的主体，积极主动地学习，其次，教师要彻底转变教学观念，成为学生自主学习的辅助者和顾问，对学生进行策略意识培训，训练学生合理使用学习策略从而促进自主学习，鼓励学生积极监控和评价自己的学习过程。更多还原

【Abstract】 Cultivating learner autonomy has been a buzzword and also a new trend in theforeign language teaching in recent years. This concept drew a lot of attention in thefield of applied linguistics both at home and abroad since its birth. A great number ofresearches about “learner autonomy” have been carried out at an international levelfrom different aspects and the results are surprisingly fruitful.This study was based on Humanistic learning theories, Vygotsky’s theory, thezone of proximal development (ZPD) and Bruner’s discovery learning model onautonomous English learning. It was intended to address the following fourresearch questions:1. What is the overall picture of autonomous learning abilities of non-Englishmajor students in Vocational College?2. Are there any statistically significant differences in English autonomouslearning between male and female students? If so, to what extent?3. Are there any statistically significant differences in English autonomouslearning between science and liberal arts students? If so, to what extent?4. Is there any relationship between learner autonomy and students’ Englishlearning proficiency?One hundred and sixty second-year non-English majors in a VocationalCommercial College in Jiangxi province filled in the questionnaire adopted fromXu Jinfen’s Autonomous English Learning (2004). This study made a quantitativeanalysis of the differences in autonomous learning between male and female students,between students of liberal arts science. Moreover, in order to get morecomprehensive information about students’ autonomous learning abilities and theexisting problems, the author conducted an interview among eight students.The results revealed that:(1) On the whole, the non-English majorsdisplayed a relatively low proficiency in English autonomous learning and theactual situation was worse.(2) The female students showed a little strongerability in English autonomous learning.(3) And liberal arts students’ autonomylearning is relatively higher than science students.(4) Students’ learner autonomy has a positive relationship with students’ English learning proficiency.On this basis, some tentative suggestions have been put forward onautonomous English learning. First of all, teachers can improve learners’awareness of learning autonomy and the importance of active participationEnglish learning. In addition, teachers should change their teaching concept andtry to be facilitators and counselors in students’ learning. Students should also becultivated how to properly use learning strategies to improve their study andactively monitor and evaluate their learning process.更多还原
