The Experience of Self-Taught Learning of Lithuanian Immigrants as faster Intergration into England's Community

Summary/Abstract: Self-directed learning is usually treated as one of the paradigms of contemporary learning. However, its ideas trace back far deeper than just to the 20th century, originating in the Antique civilization; the method of self-directed learning was even employed by Greek philosophers. Self-directed learning is a process providing an opportunity to an independently studying individual to become the initiator of self-directed learning thus taking control of one’s learning process. A student, with or without assistance of other people, plans and assesses his/her study process in a strife to acquire specific abilities. She is denoted by an appeal to study and by certain management competences. The necessity for self-directed learning is manifested in the integration process of Lithuanian immigrants in the English community, namely, in the socio-cultural environment, where Lithuanians are required to learn to get integrated to the peculiarities of the cultural lifestyle when pursuing rapid and efficient integration.
