Learner autonomy is when students take responsibility for their own learning, in terms of what they learn
and how they learn it. Students are able to develop an independent and proactive approach to their studies.
In university education, learner autonomy is particularly important. Students may have limited classroom
time for learning a subject, but they may need to rapidly increase their knowledge and skills. Therefore, it is
important for them to continue learning efficiently outside the classroom.
In autonomous learning, it’s important for students to have ideas of their own role as a learner. Classroom
discussion and conversations with the teacher can help students to understand the essential part that they play in
their own success. Autonomous students can learn far more than passive learners. Independent students can
address their own individual needs and make progress.
Autonomy involves students having a range of learning strategies which they are able to apply flexibly in
different contexts. Teachers can help students to develop learning strategies though learner training in the
classroom, and this can take many forms.
In the early stages of a course, it is useful to demonstrate as a class how to use such resources effectively.
For example, when reading a text in lessons, students can choose a small number of new words which they are
unable to understand from context. Then, they are encouraged to look up the words in an English – English
dictionary. Then, they can discuss which one is the correct meaning for that context.
Teachers can set students homework tasks such as reading a text of their choice and researching a number
of words in an English – English dictionary. Students should be encouraged to think deeply about the process in
class. This can help them to transfer skills beyond the classroom and become more autonomous learners.

Throughout history, humans have decorates their bodies in a variety of ways by wearing jewelry, changing
their hair or painting their nails amongst other things. Humans have displayed a lot of imagination in their pursuit
of beauty.
 Some forms of decoration, however, can be quite extreme. And whether they make a person more
attractive or not us usually down to an individual’s taste. Take piercings and tattoos for example. These forms of
decoration have become very popular in recent years.
Those who are fans say that these are always of expressing themselves rather than just decoration. And
when you see how inventive and complex some tattoos are you might well agree. However, many people think
that they are quite ugly, particularly bog tattoos that cover large areas of the body or multiple piercings all over
the head and face.
Whatever your personal opinion is, one thing is certain: unlike wearing make – up or changing your hair, if
not done correctly, piercings and tattoos can sometimes cause health problems. In order to understand how this
happen and what the dangers are, let’s take a closer look at each procedure.
The most popular parts of the body for piercing are the ears, nose and belly button, although lots of people
have their mouth or tongue pierced too. Any doctor will tell you that piercing certain parts of the body can cause
more problems than others, and in the case of mouth and nose piercing, infection is a common problem because of
the millions of bacteria that live in those areas. In addition, tongue piercing can damage teeth, while tongue, cheek
and lip piercings can harm the gums.
Despite the pain and the health risks involved, more and more people are getting tattoos, possibly because
so many celebrities have them. A tattoo is created by piercing the skin many times with a needle and injecting ink
into the area. Tattoos are permanent because they are so deep. The top layer of your skin is the one that is
produced through out your life; this layer is always being replaced. But, it’s the second, deeper layer of skin where
the tattoo ink in injected. This layer of skin is not replaced, so the tattoo remains. The biggest health risk
associated with tattoos is from viruses. Viruses from the needle can enter the body and cause serious problems.
And there’s more trouble ahead. What happens if you get a tattoo and later decide that you don’t really
want it? You can have it removed by laser, but it’s quite difficult and painful to remove completely. Furthermore,
while getting an average – sized tattoo takes a couple of hours, removing it can take several visits to the doctor,
over a period of months. There’s more bad news; tattoo removal isn’t cheap either and the procedure can cause
infections and leave scars. The good news is you can avoid all of the problems associated with tattoo by getting a
henna tattoo that gradually fades away after a week or two.
