THE 8TH LITU INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE CONFERENCELEARNER AUTONOMY IN THAI LAW STUDENTSAnon TreechayawongLanguage InstituteThammasat UniversityThailandjames 6220@hotmail.comSupong TangkiengsirisinLanguage InstituteThammasat is study aimed to investigate the levels of learner autonomy of Thai law studentslearning in a Bangkok university. 403 Thai law students, 119 freshman students, 92sophomore students, 94 junior students, and 98 senior students from the university,participated in the study. The research design was a sequential explanatory design.The learner autonomy questionnaire was used as a research instrument to collect thequantitative data. Moreover, a semi-structured interview was carried out in the studyto get in-depth detail from the participants. The data analysis was carried out throughquantitative analysis techniques (Mean and Standard Deviation).The findings from the learner autonomy questionnaire show that the level of Englishlanguage learning autonomy of Thai law students learning in the university was at thehigh level. The Mean ( ) and the Standard Deviation (SD) were 3.75 and 0.67respectively. The sophomores ranked the highest ( 3.81, SD 0.65). The freshmenand juniors were slightly different and also in the high range ( 3.77, SD 0.66 and 3.76, SD 0.72 respectively), whereas the senior subgroup was in the lowestrange ( 3.64, SD 0.65). However, Thai law students in all subgroups had highlevels of learner autonomy. The results also indicate that Thai law students are readyto be autonomous learners as they have high levels of both willingness and ability.Keywords: learner autonomy, autonomous learning, autonomous learner, willingness,ability, Thai law studentsM.A. in English Language Teaching13

Researchers have identified factorscontributing to learners’ English proficiency. Empirical research investigations aboutself-directed study in Thailand are also abundant. One common theme is that Englishlearning autonomy is a key dimension in learners’ English performance.Holec (1981) was the person who coined the term “learner autonomy” and definedit as “the ability to take charge of one’s own learning”. In brief, students areencouraged to take a more active role in the learning process than in traditionalapproaches. Learner autonomy is considered as an important concept where studentsdirect their learning in and out of the classroom. They are free to choose the ways oflearning, select their own goals, decide on materials, and evaluate themselves.English learning is a lifelong journey, not one that starts and finishes in aclassroom. The notion of learner autonomy emphasizes the role which learners ca
