dc.description The notion of ‘learner autonomy’ has become more and more crucial in the field oflanguage learning for the last three decades due to the development of learner centeredapproaches in education. Current literature on learner autonomy suggests that the perceptionand practice of autonomous learning change according to specific cultural and educationalcontexts. Therefore, in any given country, it is important to identify students’ readiness forlearner autonomy before designing or adapting activities to promote autonomous learning.This study is an attempt in that direction. Aiming at identifying university level Turkish EFLlearners’ readiness for learner autonomy, the study investigated 103 learners’ perceptions ofteacher and learner responsibilities, their opinions about their own abilities to actautonomously, and the frequency of actual autonomous language learning activities theyemploy. Results indicated that learners seem to be ready to take more responsibility in manyareas of the language learning process.
