Abstract :The level of “readiness for self-directed learning” of a group of prospective teachers, who are supposed to help their own learners to become autonomous, was investigated by means of a readiness scale. The research group of the study was composed of 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students at a university English Language Teaching Department. The testing instrument used is a scale developed by Fisher et al (2001), containing 42 testing items grouped in three components as “self-direction”, “desire for learning”, and “self-control”. The results constitute 48 groups of data. Within the scope of the present paper, 13 of these groups of data are selected as prominent and discussed and evaluated subsequently.
Keywords : Learner autonomy, self directedness, readiness, scale
