The English language is one of the international languages used for communication and learning worldwide. In Vietnam, English is taught as a second language in schools from elementary to advanced levels. In learning a certain foreign language, the autonomy of learners has become a vital subject for the past 30 years. This research surveys the autonomy of non-language-majorstudents in learning English in Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. The quantitative research method uses descriptive statistics and T-test. A group of 258 students (61 males and 197 females) took part in answering two questionnaires on learners' autonomy in learning English and the roles of lecturers and students in developing learner-autonomy in learning English. The results showed that the students were not familiar with the term learning autonomy. However, students were aware that they played a fundamental role in improving this ability. They also believed that the lecturers determined their English learning process. Thence, we propose solutions for the non-language-majors to improve their autonomy in learning English.

越南非语言专业学生英语学习的自主性

英语是世界范围内用于交流和学习的国际语言之一。在越南，从小学到高级的学校都将英语作为第二语言教授。在学习某种外语时，学习者的自主性已成为过去 30 年来的重要课题。本研究调查了胡志明市教育大学非语言专业学生在学习英语方面的自主性。定量研究方法使用描述性统计和 T 检验。258 名学生（61 名男性和 197 名女性）参与回答了关于学习者英语学习自主性和教师和学生在发展学习者英语学习自主性中的作用的两份问卷。结果表明，学生对学习自主这个词并不熟悉。然而，学生们意识到他们在提高这种能力方面发挥了重要作用。他们还认为讲师决定了他们的英语学习过程。因此，我们为非语言专业的学生提出了提高他们学习英语自主权的解决方案。
