This paper concludes by suggesting the study of motivation and language learning activities might
best be pursued in the context of research on learner autonomy. Autonomous learners are considered to un-
derstand the purpose of learning, accept responsibility for their learning and take initiatives in planning and
conducting learning activities. What intrigues here is how learner autonomy is related to learner’s motiva-
tion. In other words the question is whether high motivation leads one to attain more autonomy, resulting
in better achievement of one’s learning goals. Further study should shed light on learner’s motivation as
psychological factor and its effect on the level of learner autonomy.
