Descripción:
Self-access language learning ( SALL ) refers to the learning that typi - cally takes place in a self-access centre ( SAC ), whether self or other- directed. As an innovation in the foreign language teaching-learning milieu, it has been diffused and adopted all over the world. The present case study aims to investigate EFL students perceptions and experiences regarding this learning mode (called autonomous at this university) and the facility where it takes place ( SAC ). From a quali - tative perspective, I gathered data through interviews, observation and analysis of students work reports, resulting in the two broad themes underpinning this study. The results include ten findings supported by evidence taken from the data; four are classified as Students perceptions of the autonomous learning mode, and six as Students experiences within the autonomous learning mode. Finally, suggestions for a more contextualized and critical adoption of innovations in this arena are provided.
