AB A great deal has been written in recent years on the theoreticalaspects of autonomous language learning. There have also been variousresearch studies and text books written on closely related topicssuch as language awareness and language learning strategies. However,relatively few accounts have appeared describing the implementationof larger scale autonomous language learning projects or theimplications such projects have had for teachers and learners. This paperdescribes an experiment which is now in its fifth year at the LanguageCentre of the University of Helsinki, Finland. Well over one thousanduniversity students have completed autonomous language learningmodules (ALMS) as part of their normal degree programme, and alarge body of data has been collected on the process.We will here describe the context and organisation of the ALMSmodules and, in particular, the nature and function of counselling, whichwe see as an essential part of the support system provided for learnerson their road to autonomy. We will then go on to analyse some of theattitudinal changes experienced and freely expressed by learners as adirect result of their participation in the programme.
