Students’ perception of learner autonomy in learning English in blended learning environment at Hanoi University of Industry

Abstract

Learner autonomy is a key factor in creating effective learning, especially in a blended learning environment, but solutions to maximize learner autonomy in a blended learning environment haven’t been studied much. The main purpose of this study is to explore the perception of non-English major students at Hanoi University of Industry of autonomy when learning foreign languages in a blended learning environment. The study used a questionnaire as a tool to collect quantitative data from 176 students of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering studying the English program. Research has shown that students believe learners plays a greater role in learner autonomy than teachers when learning English in a blended learning environment.
