Abstract

Passive students and the teachers’ dominance in the EFL classrooms practices are
common phenomena in the Indonesian contexts. However, the students need to be
autonomous to be successful both in their classroom and their real life. As projectbased
learning is believed to develop learner autonomy, this study aimed at
investigating how project-based learning fostered learner autonomy in an EFL
classroom referring to Holec’s (1981) and Kumaradivelu’s (2003) concept of
learner autonomy. This study used qualitative descriptive research design at six
senior high school students. The data were collected through observation,
interview, and students’ journals. The results of data analysis revealed that the
activities in all stages of project-based learning have fostered learner autonomy in
terms of determining learning objective, materials and sources, activities to do,
using appropriate learning strategies for certain task, monitoring and evaluating
the learning progress and results, and working cooperatively. There are also other
findings. First, the students were in the highest degree of autonomy during the
implementation stages. Second, the teacher played important role in fostering
learner autonomy and the teacher’s involvement in the right time could help them
in developing their autonomy. Third, the students’ autonomy could take in
different degree depending on their learning progress. Fifth, the students needed
to be prepared to be guided through a continuous process to be able to learn
autonomously. Sixth, the concept of learner autonomy was related closely to the
use of learning strategies. Lastly, there were advantages of project-based learning
besides fostering learner autonomy as well as the constraints during the
implementation. Based on the findings, it is recommended for the educational
authorities to fully support the teachers and students in developing learner
autonomy.
