Description Abstract – Leaner autonomy is considered as one of general concern in SLA community. The concepts of learner autonomy and independence have gained a special attention and they developed into a 'buzz-word' within the context of language learning during two last decades (Little, 1995, P. 178). The communicative oriented language learning and teaching has been attributed significant role to the learner in the process of language learning (Reinder, 2010). It is obvious that responsibility has been changed from teachers to learners and this shift of responsibility does not exist in a vacuum, however some changes must be applied to the curriculum itself to lead toward more learner-centered kind of learning. The paper attempts to present some preliminary reflections on learner autonomy, review the key issues related to the topic and finally it does its best to delineate how the learner autonomy can be fostered within a classroom situation.
