Abstract
The studies on autonomous learning based on the theories of constructivism and the advantages of technology propose valuable ideas for modern teaching theories and practices. In this paper, we put forward ways and methods in developing learner awareness, learning strategies and habits of autonomous learning in Henan College of Finance and Taxation (HCFT), taking English reading course as an example. The most significant findings are that in the model the guided experimentation promoted students’ English language competence to a larger degree than that of traditional ways of learning, and that most of the experimental students became more active and positive in English language learning and eventually enjoyed the process.

(2) Studies on the application of computers and Internet learning sources: Li (2005) discussed the possibilities and roles of the computer and multi-media in autonomous English learning; As a matter of fact, computer-aided autonomous English language learning was widely considered as a worthy model for Chinese college English teaching and learning since there are so many college students, who traditionally learn English in a big class with low learning efficiency level
All the teachers came to understood that students are individuals who need to be treated with dignity and respect and teachers must understand and respond to students’ differences in helping everyone grow in autonomous English learning skills and habits
Summary
When the question of foreign language teaching is discussed, some specific things come into focus. The primary issue should be the aim of foreign language teaching, which leads to other important issues such as what is taught and how it is to be taught. With the development of science and technology, there are some promises to foreign language learners. Among them is the wide spread of computer science and Internet services, which could be used to facilitate foreign language teaching because they can expand course offerings in the campus. A model of computer-aided autonomous English language learning is proposed. The model is aimed at developing the joint-program college students’ English language learning competence in HCFT
