Abstract Autonomy and self-learning are ongoing challenges for universities generally, and for their language centres specifically when it comes to language learning and acquisition. The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia has always paid attention to both fostering autonomy in its learners and developing customized language learning activities. Among all the activities the Language Centre deals with, we include self-access learning, through the establishment of proper laboratories, and traditional-teaching support measures, through the use of Moodle, as means to reach out to several non-attending students with supplementary materials. Although the Language Centre staff has been able to successfully complement teaching activities in class using Moodle, there was also a tendency to keep self-access learning within the physical barriers of its room, thus almost obliging users to go there to find language assistance and materials. However, a natural change in learners’ academic attendance and needs has lately led the Language Centre staff to rethink the whole idea of self-access learning, by having it transcend its walls and find a home online. Exploiting some of Moodle’s characteristic features – i.e. accessibility, flexibility, and customization – in the academic year 2018–2019, a new project will be piloted which will give learners the chance to get in touch with the language adviser via the web in order to receive counselling on language matters, and to find a network of extra services such as: – e-tutored online courses and learning pathways providing support to achieve certain goals;– webinars on specific areas providing learners with methodological tools;– a dedicated space for improving speaking skills (e.g. atelier de conversation). Through these tools the Language Centre hopes to expand its range of self-learning activities so as to meet learners’ new expectations and attitudes.

在线自助学习：一项正在进行的工作

摘要自治和自主学习对于大学，尤其是语言学习和习得，对于大学及其语言中心来说，一直是挑战。摩德纳大学和雷焦艾米利亚大学一直都在重视促进学习者自主性和开展定制语言学习活动。语言中心处理的所有活动中，我们包括通过建立适当的实验室进行自主学习，以及通过使用Moodle来进行传统教学的支持措施，以此来使几名不上课的学生获得补充材料。尽管语言中心的工作人员已经能够使用Moodle成功地补充课堂教学活动，还有一种趋势是将自主学习保持在其房间的物理障碍之内，因此几乎迫使用户必须去那里寻找语言帮助和材料。但是，学习者的出勤率和需求发生了自然变化，最近，语言中心的工作人员超越了墙壁，在网上找到了家，从而重新考虑了自助学习的整个想法。在2018-2019学年，将利用Moodle的某些特色（即可访问性，灵活性和定制性），将试行一个新项目，这将使学习者有机会通过网络与语言顾问联系，以便获得就语言问题提供咨询，并找到额外的服务网络，例如：–电子辅导的在线课程和学习途径，为实现某些目标提供支持；–特定领域的网络研讨会，为学习者提供方法工具； –专门的空间，用于提高口语技能（例如，对话工作室）。通过这些工具，语言中心希望扩大其自学活动的范围，从而满足学习者的新期望和态度。
