Abstract

Learner autonomy places important role in language learning because it promotes independent role to increase the learning progress as well as learning achievement. Reading on the other hand becomes one of the important sectors of language capability; thus, the purpose of this study was to analyze the affectivity of reading activity towards students’ level of learner autonomy. The study aims to reveal whether an extensive reading activity affects the readiness of becoming autonomous learners. Classroom observations and questionnaire were the primary tools of the study. A case study design was used in analyzing the data to gather in depth insight from the actual settings and participants. The results show that extensive reading activity affects students’ level of learner autonomy since it indirectly forces the students to understand the passage and practice in and outside the classroom context.
