I． Introduction
The“learner autonomy”is one of the important parts of the research and practice of education，especially in the language education． In the recent 20 years，numbers of researches on “learner autonomy”are emerging． Many papers about“learner autonomy”are published in the leading linguistics journals ( e． g． Littlewood，1999; Cotterall，2017; etc． ) ．
The researchers make every effort to promote their ideas on learner autonomy and report their case studies and experiments associated with learner autonomy． Learner autonomy is now generally defined as ability to take charge of one ’s own learning．
According to Benson ( 2017) ，learner autonomy is recognized as learners’ability to take control over their own learning at three levels: learning management，cognitive process and learning content，which associate with learners ’ learning behaviors，psychology of learning and learning situations respectively． The researches abroad on learner autonomy develop fast and have much contribution which provides us with many implications on fostering Chinese students to be autonomous in their second language learning． In China，the Ministry of Education ( 2017) pointed out in 2017 that schools should take developing students’autonomous learning ability and collaborative learning as the primary goal． Students should be taught learning how to learn，英语论文题目，learners are the central agent of the learning process．
Autonomous language learning as a new way of language learning requires a fundamental change in perceptions from both learners and teachers about how languages are learned．Learners bring their own beliefs，goals，attitudes and decisions to learning and these influence how they approach their learning． However，much more attention among the researches on learner autonomy and second or foreign language learning has been paid to the second or foreign language learning as a whole and much less focus has been devoted to autonomy with specific reference to the EFL reading．
In respect to English reading，no one will deny that learner autonomy is an indispensable part． In addition， to the benefits of the students，reading is a highly effective means for them to master the target language． This attribute of reading itself endows students with greater freedom to make choices on their own in learning EFL reading． |
