13、目的与要求的了解、学习目标和计划、学习策略、自我监控和评估以及学习资源的利用情况等七个方面，通过分析发现英语专业新生的自主学习能力处于中等水平，大多数新生学习英语的外部动机强于内在动机；学习观念积极，但是对教师的教学目的与要求不是很了解；新生有明确的学习目标和计划，但是很少付出实际行动；学习策略匮乏，自我监控和评估的能力不足，不能充分利用学习资源。针对以上情况，分析其原因并给出建议以提高学习者的自主学习能力。 关键词：英语专业新生；自主学习；调查iiChapter One: Introduction1.1 Need for autonomous learning In recent years

In China, most of teachers adopt traditional teaching methods in foreign language teaching, they devote too much time and attention to how to teach more than how to learn, unilaterally emphasize teachers role of “input” and stress uniqueness and standards, the role of learners as learning subjects has been overlooked. With the reform of co
