The concept of learner autonomy has become a true 'buzzword' in the EFL research community during the last two decades, but has not yet been widely implemented inlanguage classrooms throughout Germany. Nevertheless, teachers face very heterogeneous inclusive classrooms and need to find new ways to challenge and foster students. This could be accomplished by shifting responsibility for learning to individual students and granting them more independence and autonomy. In this course, we will first focus on the theoretical principles behind the concept of learner autonomy and then explore different approaches and materials for autonomous learning in heterogeneous language classrooms. Furthermore, we will develop, implement and evaluate our own materials at one of our partner schools.
