The 1990’s was a significant decade for autonomous language learning as the work done by Dam in a Danish school was published. This helped autonomous language learning to move away from adult context into a school context. Based
14 on the need of working with unmotivated learners Dam proceeded to develop autonomous learning methods with highly successful results. Also in Finland experiments with autonomous language learning and teaching started in the
1990’s, of which the most notable is probably the ALMS-project of the language centre of the University of Helsinki.
