The Impact of Learner Autonomy on Motivation and Achievement in B2 Level Learners

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of learner autonomy on motivation and achievement in B2 level English language learners. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving questionnaires, interviews, document analysis, and classroom observations. The findings revealed a positive relationship between learner autonomy, motivation, and achievement. Learners with higher levels of learner autonomy reported higher levels of motivation and achieved better grades in their English language courses. The study also found that course materials and lesson plans that promoted learner autonomy contributed to increased motivation and achievement. These findings suggest that learner autonomy is an important factor in motivating and supporting B2 level English language learners to achieve success in their studies. By fostering learner autonomy, educators can create learning environments that empower learners to take ownership of their learning and develop the skills and strategies necessary for effective language acquisition
