Issues facing Teachers in promoting learner autonomy under the Implementation of the CBLT

Abstract

This paper investigates the challenges facing in fostering learner autonomy within the Algerian secondary schools. The educational system in Algeria has letely witnessed a general reform by adopting the competency based approach. One of its basic objectives is to make the EFL learner more autonomous and self reliant. Despite the fact that this approach has been implemented for eleven years in the Algerian secondary school, it appears that EFL teachers in secondary education and even in university are still failing in fostering their learners' autonomy.
