The first part of this article explores the concept of learner autonomy
from the perspective of a social-interactive view of learning.
The second part elaborates three fundamental pedagogical principles
derived from this view and calculated to develop learner autonomy: the
principle of learner empowerment; the principle of appropriate target
language use; and the principle of using language as a cognitive tool.
