Integrating Self-Access with Curriculum An Activities based Approach

This study explores the integration of self-access learning with the curriculum for non-English majors at Sojo and Bunkyo universities. Over three classroom hours per week, students with varying levels of motivation engage in self-access and autonomous learning through structured activities. These activities, conducted in self-access centers either individually or in groups, offer students the freedom of choice while meeting institutional goals. The results indicate increased motivation, higher user numbers in self-access resources, and greater awareness of advising services, ultimately fostering a culture of language learning and autonomy.
