学生的自主学习能力是影响外语学习的重要因素。调查表明,理工科学生普遍认识到了自主学习能力的重要性,但是他们自主学习能力还很欠缺。在英语教学中,教师应对学生学习策略加以指导,培养学生的自主学习能力,使他们能适应复杂多变的高科技社会的需求。 Students’ ability to learn independently is an important factor affecting foreign language learning. The survey shows that science and engineering students generally recognize the importance of independent learning ability, but their ability to learn independently is still lacking. In English teaching, teachers should guide students ’learning strategies and cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability so that they can adapt to the needs of a complex and ever-changing high-tech society.
