Effective Foreign Language Learning
Self-directed learning occurs when learners control both the learning objectives and the means of learning. That is, learners engage in self-directed learning by making their own decisions about what and how they are going to learn (Lowry, 1989). When learners take on a self-directed learning project, they gain more than new skills or knowledge. They may also develop motivation, independence, discipline, and confidence (Abdullah, 2001).
