Shifting the Balance: Promoting autonomy and self-reflection in ESP

Original language description

The modern trend in language teaching emphasises the need to develop skills that enable students to become self-sufficient in their future life with a foreign language. We describe two different learning situations in which learner autonomy is promoted; the first being an elective ESP course for students across university entitled "English Autonomously", the second, a standard ESP course for Law Faculty undergraduates. While the former is primarily about student self-reflection and setting one’s own learning goals, our experience shows that it is also possible to introduce elements of autonomy into the latter, more structured course.
