摘要:自主学习是当今国内外语言学习领域的重大研究课题之一；自主学习环境是学习者在自主学习过程中进行学习活动的情况和条件。本文通过对英语专业的学生做跟踪调查研究，通过问卷调查，访谈，课外观察的方式来分析他们的自主学习能力状况，以及探索自主学习环境与英语听说能力之间的关系，如何有效的创设自主学习环境来提高英语听说能力。

   本文采用定性研究的方法，旨在对研究主体的自主学习目标，计划，方式方法和材料进行研究，探究他们的自主学习情况和英语听说能力之间的关系。最后发现自主学习环境能有效的提高英语听说综合能力，而不是仅仅局限于英语听说课的成绩。

   总之，希望本研究有助于学生进一步认识到自主学习环境的重要性。本文在调查研究及综合分析的基础上就如何提高自主学习能力提出了一些建议，有利于学生自主性学习，及更恰当，更有效地创设自主学习环境，最终取得理想的学习效果。
