Keywords:
Learner autonomy, teaching methods, motivation, independent learning, student-centered education.Abstract
Because it promotes self-reliance, motivation, and lifelong learning abilities, learner autonomy is essential to contemporary education. This article examines the ways in which different teaching approaches - technologically enhanced, task-based, communicative, and traditional - incorporate and support learner autonomy. Additionally, it offers helpful suggestions for improving learner-driven practices in various educational settings.
