Abstract

In order for a person to use a foreign language fluently and effectively, it takes a lifelong endeavor. Therefore, learning a language does not just occur in a typical classroom, but it must be done in an extensive learning environment where learners are ready for lifelong learning perspective. Determining language learners’ readiness for lifelong learning (LLL) in order to support their language development is of great importance. This paper reports a group of UFM students’ propensities of lifelong learning as EFL learners. The quantitative study with 27-item questionnaire involved 134 students as non-English majors. The results show that most students have typical characteristics to become EFL lifelong learners, and ideas to develop their English language learning has been offered.
