dc.description The first part of this article is concerned with learner autonomy in practice.It begins with a working definition of learner autonomy, goes on to describethe discursive practices of three language learning environments in which itsdevelopment is a central goal, and ends by proposing that autonomy inlanguage learning is underpinned by three general pedagogical principles:learner involvement, learner reflection, and appropriate target language use.The second part of the article considers John Dewey’s concept of democracyin education and its relation to learner autonomy, arguing that each conceptimplies the other and attributing their interdependence to the essentiallydialogic nature of communication and learning. The conclusion briefly re-states the importance of both concepts for education and society.
