Incorporating Reflective Teaching Practice to Promote Autonomous Computer Assisted Language Learning: The Case of EFL Learners at Naama University Center

Abstract

As an area of scientific inquiry, autonomy plays a significant role in promoting foreign language learning. Thus, various methods are employed for the sake of promoting learner autonomy. Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is one of the most innovative methods that can be used to enhance autonomous learning in the area of language education. The present investigation proposes theoretical and practical frameworks to incorporate reflective teaching practice to deal with leaners autonomy in CALL laboratory. It revolves around investigating the significance of reflective practice to develop EFL teachers’ performance for increased leaners’ autonomy. It strives, then, to direct EFL teachers’ attention towards critical reflection to manage puzzling situations in EFL classes in general, and CALL environment in particular.
