On the relationship between learner autonomy and reading comprehension
Author(s):
Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between MA students‟ autonomy and their reading comprehension ability. To this end, a 32-item questionnaire and a 20-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test were given to a sample of 68 participants. The collected data were analyzed using the Correlation procedure, one way ANOVA and Regression analysis. Results of the correlation procedure indicated that there was a positive relationship between learners‟ autonomy and the reading comprehension ability but the one-way ANOVA showed that the differences among the scores of low, mid and high autonomy-level students on the reading comprehension test were not statistically significant. Regression analysis showed that, of the factors considered in the questionnaire, only the Nature of Language Learning was a reliable predictor of reading comprehension ability of the participants.
