Fostering Independence Through Technology: Enhancing Learner Autonomy in Teaching English as a Second Language
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science Humanity & Management Research - Year 2025, Vol 4, Issue 01
Abstract
The advent of digital technology has profoundly transformed the landscape of English language learning, emphasizing learner autonomy and personalization. By leveraging online platforms, mobile applications, and artificial intelligence (AI), learners gain access to diverse resources and tools that foster independent, self-directed learning. Technologies like flipped classrooms and AI-driven platforms personalize learning experiences by adapting content to individual needs, enhancing proficiency and confidence in English usage. Mobile applications such as Quizlet and gesture-based learning tools offer interactive and flexible learning environments, empowering learners to practice vocabulary, speaking, and writing skills at their convenience. Online platforms enable collaborative and asynchronous learning, broadening the scope of intercultural and linguistic development. However, disparities in access and equity remain challenges, underscoring the need for inclusive policies to ensure all learners benefit equally. This study highlights the dynamic interplay between technology and learner autonomy in shaping effective and equitable language learning experiences. It also reflects on ethical considerations and the need for balanced integration of digital tools in education.
