<![CDATA[Over the past three decades, autonomous learning has emerged as a hot topic in language learning. This study investigates the learner autonomy levels and the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in an Indonesian university context.

The survey is based on Bandaranaike & Willison’s framework. The results were analyzed using thematic analysis by Braun & Clarke (2006).
