Developing learner autonomy has always been one of the core ELT issues for many years. Many studies on fostering learner autonomy promote what students need to develop autonomous learning skills in language classes in order to reach the outcome of the course. This chapter aims to explore how to motivate demotivated students to become active autonomous learners in their own learning and offers practical recommendations for practitioners who are facing the same challenges in teaching English.
