Prof. Marilu Rañosa-Madrunio, PhD and Mr. Veronico N. Tarrayo of the Department of English co-authored a paper entitled “Learner Autonomy: English Language Teachers’ Beliefs and Practices in the Philippines” with Ruanni Tupas (National Institute of Education – Singapore) and Paolo Niño Valdez (De La Salle University – Manila).
The paper found that teacher respondents were skeptical about learner autonomy, and this is brought about by educational infrastructures and cultural norms that are beyond the control of teachers. The paper situated learner autonomy in the Philippines: “it is a range of conditioned practices enacted within institutional and sociocultural infrastructures.”
The chapter research article was published in the book “Language Learner Autonomy: Teachers’ Beliefs and Practices in Asian Contexts,” launched during the 12th Annual CamTESOL Conference on English Language Teaching held from February 20-21, 2016 (Saturday-Sunday) in the Institute of Technology – Cambodia, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
