Practical Exploration of Cultivating Autonomous Learning Ability with the Upsurge of Foreign Language MOOCs

Abstract

At present, MOOCs are rapidly emerging throughout the country which bring great challenges as well as opportunities to foreign language teaching. Foreign language learners can learn language better through MOOCs. However, the teaching effect of MOOCs is directly determined by learners’ autonomous learning ability. Therefore, this article discusses the relevant theories of autonomous learning, analyzes foreign language learners’ autonomous learning on the MOOCs platform, and proposes methods to promote the autonomous learning ability of foreign language learners.
