Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to revisit the construct of learner autonomy and its interrelatedness with learning styles and learner strategies in the context of foreign language learning. In a brief overview the role of learning and teaching languages; especially English; is considered in the context of globalization. In the following; autonomy is defined and described drawing on examples of my own learning of Turkish. The presentation of several approaches to learner autonomy leads to an integrated model of self-directed learning. Then; I deal with styles and strategies in a task-based approach. Furthermore; a taxonomy of learner strategies for acquiring speech acts is provided.
