Do Regular Self-Access Learning Center Users Exhibit Characteristics of Effective Autonomous Learners? Kato, Satoko カトウ, サトコ Kato, Satoko Carson, Luke ルーク, カーソン Carson, Luke 830 self-access learning center independent learning metacognition effective language learning learner behaviors application/pdf This research examines student learning patterns in a Self-Access Learning Center(SALC) in Japan, with particular reference to regular users of the SALC involved in second language independent learning. The research was undertaken to gain an accurate picture of actual SALC usage to see if SALC users are functioning as effective autonomous learners, and if not, to find out what provisions need to be made to facilitate their usage towards this end. The results of the research suggest that the regular users clearly perceive the SALC as having a very positive influence on their language learning. It also shows high levels of ability in certain areas deemed important for self-access learning, such as needs analysis, and learning material selection. However, students appear to have lower levels of ability and awareness of metacognition and learning management-planning, monitoring, and evaluation, the absence of which may hamper the effectiveness of their independent learning and learning outcomes. This research details the possible implications of regular student SALC usage patterns and the resulting proposed changes to environment, services, and materials provision in order to provide learners with the optimal conditions for effective autonomous learning. 広島文教女子大学 2009-12-25 eng departmental bulletin paper VoR https://doi.org/10.51095/kiyo.44.07 https://h-bunkyo.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/1202 10.51095/kiyo.44.07 AN10402507 0919181X 広島文教女子大学紀要 Bulletin of Hiroshima Bunkyo Women's University 44 89 103 https://h-bunkyo.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/1202/files/kenkyukiyo44(kato).pdf application/pdf 4.6 MB 2023-02-03
