Self-directed learning means learning which is planned, carried out and evaluated by students themselves. After describing the growth of interest in self-directed learning in English- Language education over the past three decades, the author examines our campus and programs with a view to identifying where self-directed learning is already occurring and how further promoting of self-directed learning might benefit students. Drawing on case- studies of programs at other universities, suggestions are made about how small-scale changes might be implemented to increase the awareness and effectiveness of self-directed learning. It is further suggested that any changes should be accompanied by research into self-directed learning and students’ learning needs.}, pages = {32--44}, title = {Self-Directed Learning at MIC: Current Strategies and Future Possibilities}, volume = {24}, year = {2019} }
