Abstract
English language, as a vital foreign language, has
received considerable attention in the last 25 years in education
in the People’s Republic of China. Moreover, with the
development of second language acquisition theories in these
years, more theories and ideologies have been introduced into
China. Autonomous learning is an important case in point.
When the idea of 'autonomous learning' was brought into EFL
teaching and learning at the beginning of the 1990s, some
Chinese scholars accepted the concept without any critical
thought of its application in a Chinese context, which results in
an increasing blurring of its boundaries. This paper firstly gives
an overview of the development of autonomous learning in the
PRC , and then secondly moves to present the model of English
language learning and teaching by using autonomous learning
theory within the Chinese context., Finally it utilizes
information that leads to the suggestions and recommendations
to university staff, students and SAC managers in the PRC
