I visited Ji Young Moon's blog and her summary regarding the learner autonomy attrated my attention. She mentioned that learner autonomy is the learners’ feeling that studying is taking place due to their own decision. The learner autonomy must be supported in a systematic way by the teacher and curriculum for the learner to benefit. When I was young, there was no Hakwon which is personal institute for helping students who would like to improve their weak subject. However, most of Korean students and parents depend on Hakwon too much and they seem to be unable to study without the help of Hakwon. Also I heard from many teachers in Hakwon that students just follow teacher's instruction lack of self-displine. As Ji Young mentioned, students should develop learner strategies which are systematic plans, designs, procedures, or maneuvers used during learning. I also would like to apply direct strategies such as cognitive, metacognitive, social-affective method to my class.
