[摘要]

促进学习者自主学习是近二十年来外语教学界的热门话题。中国教育部在2000年颁发的《基础教育阶段新英语课程标准》中把“培养高中生自主学习英语的能力”作为英语学习教学的主要目标。传统的以教师为中心的英语课堂教学已经无法满足学生的要求，无法实现以人为本，促进学生综合语言运用能力的提高的总体目标。因此，培养高中生自主学习的重要性和必要性就显得尤为突出。本文详述了自主学习的定义、理论和影响高中生自主学习能力的因素，分析了学生在英语学习中的问题，提出了自主学习的训练策略，以及这些策略在教学中的应用。

Abstract:

It is stipulated in New Criteria for English Curriculum that one of the goals of English course is to make students form effective learning strategies. [1] However, the traditional teaching model could not meet the need of students, could not realize the goal of promoting students’ comprehensive language abilities. The latest reform of curriculum criteria put emphasis on sustainable development of learners, which includes how to develop the students’ strategies to form autonomy learning. Therefore, it is significant to emphasize study on language learning strategies and strategy training. In this paper, the author discusses the basic definition and theories of self- learning and the related factors which can affect the senior students’ autonomy learning ability. Furthermore, this paper provides some learner-centered practices of English teaching in senior school, and explains the methods to promote autonomy learning, so that teachers would help learners develop their autonomy learning strategies, and then apply those methods to later teaching.

1. Introduction
With the new senior school English teaching material using, and the implementation of New Standard of English Courses，and the change of examination，the senior school English class teaching is not only to develop students' knowledge of the language and language skills, and has the responsibilities and obligations to cultivate the students' attitudes about autonomy-learning ability. [2] However, the traditional teaching methods，which lay too much emphasis on the input of information，cannot meet the development of education .The conflict between the limited studying time in school and the unlimited increase of new information has pushed people to realize the importance of learning efficiency and the ability to learn by oneself. Teachers should not only introduce the knowledge but also guide the students to develop the efficient learning strategies and the ability to learn by themselves. It is the needs of the students to get further education.
Therefore，only when learners are able to know their situation, their learning strengths,  weaknesses and avail themselves of each learning opportunity rather than simply react to various stimuli from the teacher can they be confident enough to involve into their learning and eventually become successful language learners. The situation calls for the urgent need of cultivating learners' initiatives and leaner autonomy in classroom.
