15、不会和外国人直接交流。整体说来，高校英语教育水平不高，教学模式传统死板，英语学习费时低效，高校所培养出来的英语人才语言知识掌握的虽好，但是语言交际运用能力很差，对外国文化习俗知之甚少，高分低能的现象极为普遍。进21 世纪，随着网络技术的应用，给我国的英语教育带来了巨大而深远的影响，使英语教学方法和学习方法发生了变革。2007 年教育部高教司颁布了新版大学英语课程教学要求，明确指出新的教学模式应以现代信息技术，特别是网络技术为支撑，使英语教学不受时间和地点的限制，朝着个性化学习，自主学习的方向发展。由此可见，大学生的自主学习成为高校英语教学改革的焦点与核心。本文试图通过对大学生自主学习的影响因素

16、的深入分析，探讨培养大学生英语自主学习能力的方法，最终提高大学生自主学习能力，为其成为具有终生学习能力的人打下良好的基础。本文以调查问卷的形式从内因和外因来分析影响大学生自主学习的因素。第一部分将重点阐述自主学习的定义以及他对我们大学生的重大意义。第二部分将会展示调查问卷的设计和分析。第三部分重点分析影响大学生自主学习的因素。它包括两大块：内因和外因。最后一部分总结全文。关键词：分析；因素；影响；大学；自主；学习；英语 ContentsAcknowledgment. iAbstract (English). .ii Abstract (Chinese)iii 1.

Introduction With the rapid development of science and technology, social progress has change a lot .Now, lifelong learning is no longer a choice but a survival question for social individuals, autonomous learning ability is becoming more and more important

19、. As in other fields, the language education of autonomous learning is becoming more and more attentive. The improvement of college students English autonomous learning ability(especially its revolutionthat is shifted from the autonomous consciousness to the autonomous practice )is not a simple long

20、itudinal straight line process, the existence of many influence factors make it difficult and complicated (Harcourt Brace 199). Our country have been exploring college English classroom teaching method for a long time, in order to improve teaching efficiency ,education department and many scholars t

21、ry their best to complete it .therefore they think a lot of ways such as the use of multimedia classroom teaching and extracurricular, practice teaching etc., But the teacher is the teaching guider, students is the teaching subject, teaching efficiency can been improved truly when only students expe

22、nd their learning initiative and enthusiasm in learning ,wherever is both in class or outside of class Only when improve students ability of autonomous learning ,students can absorb knowledge and apply to real life and improve their practice ability. We meet many causes preventing our autonomous lea

23、rning, The factors are divided into two parts that are internal cause and external cause. Internal cause includes learning interest and learning aim and learning mood etc. External cause includes teaching mode and environment and companion etc. I will analyze mainly those causes in the paper. Fianly

24、 the paper will get many conclusions according to investigation.2. What is autonomous learning?Autonomous learning is that students can master their own learning, it is not a completely independent to complete learning tasks, it is that students emphasizes the learner as the focus and take advantage

25、 of effective use of all resources, it is the learning way that is opposite of learning by other peoples help and warning. Therefore it has much difference from autonomous learning. They have obvious differences between them; “self-study” is only a part of autonomous learning. It can be divided into

26、 three aspects: first part is that learners should have activity plans and arrangements in advance for their own learning; the seconds part that they should have activities supervision evaluation and feedback for their own learning, the last part is they must to adjust their own learning activities,

27、 shaping and control.Due to the different researchers has different definition about autonomous learning theory position and Angle of view, so the unity on the definition of autonomous learning is very difficult. Zimmerman told a systemic summary about the definition of autonomous learning, summing

28、up a total of three characteristics: (1) emphasizing the metacognitio, motivation and behavior aspects of the use of the self adjusting strategy;(2) the emphasis on autonomous learning is a kind of Self directed feedback loop process ,he think autonomous learners can monitor the effect of their lear

29、ning methods and strategies, according to the feedback and adjust their learning process;(3) emphasis on autonomous learners should know that themselves make arrangement plan correctly according their condition .3 .The significance of English autonomous learning Comparing high school learning, Unive

30、rsity difference is active consciously learn to give priority .the college must to reduce dependence on teachers. University extent knowledge in depth and breadth based on high school. Classroom teaching is often an outline button collar, teachers teach only difficult speaking, the suspects, and the

31、 key and part the teachers experience in the classroom, the rest need them to learn understand and mastery through themselves, and this will require a strong learning consciousness, not like high school students by the teacher assigned, check and supervision (Holec 124). Therefore, cultivating and i

32、mproving the ability of autonomous learning, is very necessary for college students. Learning in the university cant depend on teachers plan and arrangement; students cant simply and blindly accept the classroom teaching content and point of view, we must develop the subjective initiative fully and

33、our potential in the study extent the critical learning and finally form their own unique academic views and opinions. The study way throughout the whole process of college learning and reflect a lot of aspects of university life. Such as learning, learning content and the choice of the learning met

34、hod and so on. Today, knowledge update quickly, humans knowledge would double about three years, we have to learn to updated knowledge after we graduated from university and work, because the professional demand and knowledge of the rapid depreciation. At the same time, a lot of people will often sw

35、itch careers in real life, we need to learn the professional knowledge and skills of the corresponding in their transformation .only in this way, we can adapt to a rapid changing society and survival. Therefore, it is not good during the university if we can not keep autonomous learning habit and up

36、dated knowledge We must change the traditional normal education form that the teacher is circle and adapt often the autonomous way, therefore As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for inter

37、national trade. If we can speak English well, we will have more chance to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed. under the new conditions that knowledge is exploring , knowledge become rapid depre

38、ciation , people must change the traditional normal education that teacher play a very important role. We. must adopt the way of self directed learning (autonomous learning) to gain the knowledge of the skills that are required to work life. In addition, the new type of lifelong education system mus

39、t be based on security of individual lifelong learning, and autonomous learning skills are very essential to our life (Chen 2008). Secondly, the current school education on various aspects of the outstanding problems can be resolved through the introduction of autonomous learning mode. At the same t

40、ime, in terms of the student individual character, autonomous learning can also meet the needs of personality development, and improve the quality of learning.4. Investigation of factors affecting Chinese college students autonomous learning 4.1. Research designOn the basis of the literature review
