Abstract
. The concept of autonomy in foreign language learning has gained prominence in recent decades as educators recognize its importance in achieving sustainable and meaningful language acquisition. This article explores how modern methods-such as flipped classrooms, blended learning, gamification, and learner self-assessment-contribute to the development of learner autonomy. Drawing on recent pedagogical research and expert opinions, the study highlights practical techniques and theoretical frameworks for fostering independent language learners.
