Combining Student-based Learning Activities with Teacher's Encouragements to Foster Learner Autonomy in Elt

Teacher's domination and authority used to prevail the traditional language teaching is now left and replaced by more acceptable concept of teaching. This concept emphasizes on developing the sense of learners' responsibility, independence, or autonomy, for better learning outcome. Autonomous language learners are those assumed to have greater responsibility on their own learning for their own needs. A series of guided practice through a step-by-step manner is needed in order that students can be possibly trained to be autonomous, independent learners. This paper discusses learning activities created and designed by the students combined with teacher's encouragements to foster learner autonomy. Some theories and previous studies on learner autonomy are analyzed to support the discussion. It is believed that the combination between the two important aspects in autonomous language learning will strengthen the efforts of promoting learner autonomy in ELT. Keywords: English language teaching, learner autonomy, autonomous learning, learning activities, teacher's encouragemen

Calanone, is a coumarin derivate which was isolated from the stem bark of Calophyllum biflorum.To know the effect of calanone on the in vivo growth of transplantable C3H mammary tumor cells, C3H mice were used which were divided into : one group of untreated control, one group of solvent control (injected with 0,1 mL PEG 400) and four treated groups, each of which were injected subcutaneously near the tumor with 0,1 mL of 1 mg/mL, 2 mg/mL, 4 mg/mL, and 8 mg/mL of calanone in PEG 400 solvent respectively. The injections were given three times a week, for four weeks. By using Friedman test, for non parametric statistical analysis of the weekly observed tumor volume, it was shown that there was a significant decrease in the tumor growth of the group treated with calanone solution of 4 mg/mL dosage, compared to the control or other groups.&nbsp
