This paper according to the students the results of questionnaire survey and interviews, I discuss the non-English majors’ autonomous learning in the CALL center, on the basis of analyzing the factors which influenced students’ autonomous learning, in order to inspire the university English Teaching in CQUST and promotes English teaching. By learning English in the CALL center, they got the growth of knowledge, improved English grades, stimulated interest and the most important is they find a way to independently learn. And the motivation of their study, attitudes toward English, cognitive styles and learning strategy are the factors that influenced student’s self-access learning. Most of the students agree that.
Autonomous learning is a kind of independent learning concept imported from the west, but based on our investigation, this model is also suit for Chinese English learning. Since this study is designed to merely analyze students’ autonomous English learning in the CALL center of Chongqing University of Science and Technology, and the participants in the study is not enough, so that the results might only reflect the students’ situation in the investigated school. Therefore, it is necessary for further investigation into the related issues in different educational contexts to call for more attention to students’ autonomous learning in language center.
