Abstract

This paper aimed to investigate the beliefs and practices regarding learner autonomy (LA) among the Vietnamese EFL teachers at high schools. Data were collected from the survey and the interviews. A total of 136 EFL teachers from high schools across Vietnam completed the questionnaires, and 10 of them participated in the interviews later. The results showed that the participants expressed positivity towards LA and preferred sociocultural and psychological modes of LA, but some of them did not have sufficient knowledge of LA. The teachers perceived that their students did not possess a reasonable level of LA. Those teachers made efforts to promote LA in the English classes and found it challenging because of learners, teachers, family, and institutional factors when implementing LA. The implications are then put forward for the improvement of LA among high school students at three different levels of the individual teacher, management, and the decision-making process.

高中英语教师自主学习的信念与实践

本研究旨在调查越南高中英语教师关于学习者自主的信念和实践。数据收集自调查和访谈。来自越南各地的136名高中英语教师完成了问卷调查，其中10名教师随后参加了访谈。结果表明，被试对洛杉矶表现出积极的态度，并对洛杉矶的社会文化和心理模式表示偏爱，但部分被试对洛杉矶的认识不够充分。老师们意识到他们的学生没有掌握合理的LA水平。这些教师努力在英语课堂中推广LA，但由于学习者、教师、家庭和制度等因素，在实施LA时遇到了挑战。在此基础上，本文从教师个人、管理和决策三个层面提出了中学生学习行为改善的启示。
