“…The finding that both students' perceptions of autonomy and their readiness for autonomy were high is consistent with the findings of Altunay and Bayat (2009) and Ünal (2015). Since students have positive perceptions of autonomy, this means that they perceive themselves as capable of performing as autonomous learners.…”

This study examined Syrian refugee English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ perceptions regarding learner autonomy as well as their readiness for autonomy in English language learning. It also investigated the effects of grade and gender on learners’ perceptions. A mixed-method research design was utilized, and findings indicated that neither grade nor gender had caused statistically significant differences in terms of Syrian refugees’ perceptions of learner autonomy in language learning; nevertheless, both had caused statistically significant differences in terms of sub-scales. While the 8th graders in this study perceived themselves as being more autonomous in terms of experience in language learning, the female students seemed more autonomous in terms of their perceptions of the role of teachers and feedback. Additionally, although the learners’ perceptions regarding autonomy were slightly lower than their readiness for autonomy, there was a statistically significant relationship between their perceptions of learner autonomy and their readiness for autonomy in language learning. When their perceptions about learner autonomy increased, their readiness for autonomy also increased.

“…Good or effective language learners have also been subject to much research (Abdullayeva, 2021;Griffiths, 2008;Mahalingam & Yunus, 2017;Nazri et al, 2016;Norton & Toohey, 2001;Steffen, 2018;Wong & Nunan, 2011). Studies on language learners in Turkey also explored various aspects of good language learning such as the relationship between autonomy perception and classroom behaviors of English language learners (Altunay & Bayat, 2009); gifted learners' and their teachers' perceptions about what makes an effective language learner (Yıldırım & İşpınar Akçayoğlu, 2019); poor and good learners' language beliefs and their influence on their language learning strategy use (Kayaoglu, 2013), etc. However, there is a scarcity of qualitative research on the changing perceptions of students in relation to effective foreign language learners throughout their education in an English-major department.…”

This study aims to investigate perceptions of the students enrolled in the Department of Translation and Interpreting in relation to what makes an effective foreign language learner and explore the changes in these perceptions, if any, over a 3-year period. The participants were enrolled in prep year, first-year, and secondyear at a state university located in southern Turkey. Data were collected from 12 students in the first year, 37 students in the second year, and 26 students in the third year of the study. The Repertory Grid Technique and interviews were utilized as data collection tools, which were administered on yearly basis over three years with a view to exploring the changes in students' perceptions about what makes an effective foreign language learner during their education. Data were analyzed using Repertory Grid and content analysis methods. The results showed that students' perceptions went through changes that indicated the washback effects of the exams as well as of the education in an English-major department.
