Abstract. The new world has introduced new demands and different challenges to deal with to every member of the society. This can be encountered in the world of teaching EFL/ESL classes as well. For example, todays’ young and adolescent learners are becoming more dependent to the teacher, while the need is to enhance more inductive and student-centered learning behaviour. According to the results of reviewing different works by prominent scientists, todays’ teachers have two obligations: one, they should integrate more students –centered atmosphere in EFL classes, the second is that they should motivate language learners to be more autonomus in their learning process. In the below pragraphs, the broad explanation and review of a few scientific works are analyzed and went to a clear results and recommendations for language teachers.

Keywords: autonomus learners, dependency, learning habits, inductive teaching.
