Abstract

Autonomous learning is one of essential abilities that must be acquired by students in developing countries like Indonesia. The independent learning may solve the problematic situation in English learning such as insufficient learning time, large classroom, inadequate learning facilities, insufficient competency of English teachers and others. This study explores the perceptions of students at university level in implementing the independent learning while they are using Information Computer Technology (ICT). A questionnaire has been distributed to 50 students in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This study reveals three essential aspects such as students’ perception about the role of ICT in their English learning program. It also finds the types of material used most frequently by the students. This study also discovers certain supports that can be used to help students in utilizing ICT in their learning, such as teachers’ guidance and required skills in implementing this learning process.
