| Abstract | ||||
| In this research learning autonomy for Saudi male students has been investigated. More than ninety students from different levels in the English Department at the college of languages and translation in Imam Mohammed Bin Saudi Islamic University participated in this study. They answered a questionnaire which consisted of 18 statements each of which gave an indication how much those students are independent in learning English and show whether or not if they were autonomous learners. The result showed that the majority of responses fell in the negative side of the continuum. This indicated that Saudi learners are not autonomous. To make sure of the response, the mean score for each item was investigated. It showed that only three items which students got more than 3, while the rest of the item were below 3. Some suggestions and applications have been presented for the administrators teachers in the English departments in Saudi universities. | ||||
