University study requires students to take responsibility for their own learning, to be more self- directed, to make their own decisions about what they will focus on and how much time they will spend on learning both inside and outside the classroom. How can you get the students up to this point by the end of the course or the year?

Independent students are those who makes decisions by themselves they know what they really want and in this case they know what they want to learn and how long it will takes. I consider that every student should take the responsibility about their own learning, but in some cases they don’t do this because they don’t take responsibility about learning. I consider that junior high school, high school and college students have the capacity to make decisions and therefore they must know what their learning will takes and what they want to achieve, but in the other hand no all the students take this responsibility and I believe that we as teachers have to look some strategies to students reach this, we have to tell them what important is that they become independent students because it will help them in the future.

I think that we, teachers, have to ask our students what they want to reach in the process of the course because it will help students what they want to reach and therefore they will think in some goals they want to reach ant the end of the course or the year. We have to motivate the students telling them what interesting is learning English and that they would get good grades. Besides students must know that they are learners and they have to take responsibility on the subject in order to reach good results.

Creating independent students could be a challenge to us because depend on us too because we have to be like a motor that encourages their lives and we have to keep in mind that independent students learning no consists about getting good grades within take the responsibility of a good learner because if they do this their learning and knowledge will be wonderful so that we must motivate our students to be independent learning students and in this way they will face the world.
