Abstract

As the most international language nowadays, English has surely always become one of the most wanted languages on Earth according to several surveys. However, with regard to its status as a foreign language, it is not a simple matter to learn the language in Indonesia [1],[2]. It is also quite challenging for educators to teach the language in this context [3]. In spite of the fact that it is learnt for nearly ten years from primary schools through secondary schools, most Indonesian learners of English have not achieved proper English proficiency [4]. The English teachers also admit that it is very hard to take the students to a better attainment [3]. One component of education that is most expected to be able to contribute solution is of course the teacher, due to their central roles and strategic position [5]. Teachers typically serve a learning facilitator. They are also frontliners, directly dealing with students. Besides, they are expected to assist them in developing learner autonomy, so that learning extends to outside of schools. Learner autonomy is even crucial in a foreign language learning context [6].
