A Theological Critique Of “Learner Autonomy”, Pierce T. Hibbs
A Theological Critique Of “Learner Autonomy”, Pierce T. Hibbs
International Journal of Christianity and English Language Teaching
Because words reflect the world of a person, Christian teachers of English are called to consider how the linguistic terminology they use intersects with their Christian values. In this article, I present theological issues with the phrase “learner autonomy” (LA). Drawing largely on the work of Kenneth L. Pike, I discuss an alternative to LA that I believe more clearly reflects a Christian teacher’s theological commitments.
