Abstract

This article examines the role of student autonomy in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes. A literature review reveals that autonomy directly affects learners’ motivation, performance, and lifelong learning skills. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools offers both opportunities and challenges, requiring teachers to design balanced strategies that foster independent learning while preventing overreliance on technology.
