Abstract

Today in Uzbekistan a lot of attention is paid to the development and enhancement of independent study skills of students, especially for language learners to improve their independent learning skills. However, not enough research has been done to develop students’ autonomy. Usually, in the early stages of higher education, a student experiences depression or stress. One of the main reasons for this is the new environment, situation and location. In such cases, a student is required to develop a number of independent learning skills and strategies, namely: to plan tasks in advance and manage time correctly, to set goals effectively and clearly, to develop language skills regularly and this article discusses above mentioned skills which contribute to the development of learners’ autonomy
