When a learning-plan is designed, more attention will be paid to students factors in order to arouse their learning motivation, strengthen Sense of Self-efficacy, make correct use of

They have the same English level. The learning materials are the textbooks of Students Book 1， Book 2 Book 3 and Book4 of Senior English

24、ially the use of tele-teaching and Internet. Scientific and technological inventions in the 20th century have a great influence on education, especially on the development of educational technology and the educational concepts. With the invention and the use of different media, for instance, film, r

25、adio, recorder, TV, computer, satellite, CD, VCD, DVD, MP3 MP4 MP5, cell-phone and internet, the number of the people who are educated is larger and larger. It is easy and convenient for learners to learn by using them independently. In other words, scientific and technological inventions supply aut

26、onomous learning with technological supports and matter basis, which can clearly be seen from the table below.AgesMediaFunctionIn the 1920s Silent filmsStart-up periodsIn the 1930s-1940sMovies , records and tapesPrimary stageIn the 1950s-1960sTV and programme teaching machineDevelopment stageIn the

28、iving autonomous learning a stage for its growing up. Nowadays the progress of information technology makes us live in information age, in which traditional boundaries of human society are broken because of the revolution and development of IT. The earth is becoming smaller and smaller while knowled

29、ge and technology are growing more and more. A learner may not learn anything he wants from parents or teachers near him but may learn from media or the person on the other side of the line. When teachers and parents can't keep up the paces of time and information, learners just depend on themse

30、lves. In fact, now young learners are teaching their parents or parents in many ways. For example, some are teaching their parents or parents how to use cellphones, computers and cameras; how to cook a delicious dish; how to learn a foreign language by seeing movies on the internet. We are sure that

31、 some clever learners can learn faster and better independently by the means of multi-media rather than depending on teachers.All the fields meet and mix to give birth to the concept of autonomous learning. Since the 1950s, more and more theories on autonomous learning have come into being and some

32、are on the way. Since the 1980s autonomous learning has become a buzz-word within the context of language learning (Little, 1991: 2). As a result of the increasing concern about autonomous learning，a new learning and teaching system，which entirely differs from the traditional ones，has drawn more and

33、 more attention of educators, researchers and educational authorities. In the west many educators and researchers focus on autonomous learning, (Holec, 1981; Dickinson, 1995; Little, 1995; Littlewood, 1996; Gardner & Miller, 1997, Benson & Voller, 1997; Brown, 2001; Nunan, 2001; ) In China,

34、the Ministry of Education put great emphasis on autonomous learning, issuing the earliest version of English Syllabus for Senior High Schools in 2000, claiming in black and white that the studentsautonomous learning should be fostered and enhanced in their learning of English language. The document

35、is regarded as a vital evidence for the students acquiring autonomous individualized learning approaches and the advancement of their autonomous learning. In the last 20 years, educationalists in China show great interestinautonomous learnig. (LiHong,1998;HuaWeifen,2001a,2001b;WangDuqin,2002;CaoRong

36、ping,2003;PangWeiguo,2004;ShenChanghong&WangZhijiang,2005；DengJinzhou,2005; LiXiaohua &Heqiaoyan 2009; ZhuGebiao & DongKefa,2010; ShiXiaowei,2010). But in some local context the research for autonomous learning is far from satisfactory, especially in some countryside middle school. In ad

37、dition, although there are quite a lot of books and papers on LA recently, they are mostly about theories. That is， the research for autonomous learning is short of the combination of both theory and practice, especially short of scientific experimental researches. The study, based on the features o

38、f rural high school students，with the guidance of the theory of autonomous learning aims to discover the factors affecting autonomous learning of the students in grade one in rural senior high schools, in order to foster their skills in autonomous learning in English learning and explore some practi

39、cal learning methods to realize this goal, hoping to give some help to other teachers and students in rural schools.1.2 Features of rural high school studentsIn rural senior middle school, the most students, who come from the countryside, fail to enter key senior middle school.The students and their

40、 families attach great importance to education, but some families are not rich, so they have to ask the school or society for help. According to the survey of the marks of the entrance -to -high school exam, the differences can be clearly seen in the average mark. Ninety-eight for No.1senior middle

41、school; Eight-three for No.2 senior middle school; 73. when the new students first come into the classroom,they take an English exam, which shows their study situation about the junior English.(Refer to the following table).The whole average(总平均分)Listening average（听力平均分）Word average（词汇平均分）Reading av

42、erage（阅读平均分）Writing average（写作平均分）Grammar average (语法平均分)67913221211According to the paper analysis,they need enlarge vocabulary and improve the ability of listening, reading and writing, especially the ability of listening and reading.From the numbers above, it is clear that that the most of the ru

43、ral senior middle students have poor knowledge. In other words, most of the rural senior middle students need enriching their English knowledge.By designing the questionnaire the author intends to obtain information about the students concept on language learning.1.3 Necessity of the studyAs it is k

44、nown, globalization makes the world become one big familyWith the revolution and development of IT，traditional boundaries of human society are brokenThe society,culture, politics，economy and commerce are being involved into one large melting pot of humanityNow China has been making an active integra

45、tion into the world. Entry into the WTO, the successful hosting of the 29th Olympic Games and 2011's World Expo are typical examples. Now its an age with an explosion of knowledge and informationIn order to survive in such a rapidly changing world，learners should arm themselves with knowledge an

46、d skills, which will be a great help for them to live successfully and independently in society throughout their lifeSociety has come up with its demands on education,which are greatly affecting educationAs the result of that,educationalists are interested in developing the students ability to learn

47、, as a result of which they are keen on developing autonomous learning and treat it as an educational goalAs for information age，every one has to cope with a great deal of information and know well this changing society, so that they can lead the worldThe knowledge given at school is impossible for

48、one to use all ones lifeJust as Crabbe stated：“Society does not have the resources to provide the level of personal instruction needed by all its members in every area of learning so that individuals must be able to provide for their own learning needs.” This shows that individuals should actively t

49、ake responsibility for their learning in a self-directed manner but not rely onothers, whether teachers or educational institutions，just to plan or organize their learning for them at their own pace with proper method of their ownIn addition，it is the necessity of lifelong learning. Its known to all that it is not always easy for learners to get a teacher to s
