Abstract

The 140 million internet users in Indonesia results in a high rate of internet activity marking the rising of a new digital era. Hence, this country’s education in can be developed further with the help of digital technology as it becomes an important asset to introduce the autonomous learning concept in Indonesia. Autonomous learning is coined as “the ability to take charge of one’s lesson” (Holec,1981). Students are now able to carry out their learning without depending on the teachers. Once they fnished their study, they can still learn by themselves making the process of learning becomes a continuous process. However, the concept of autonomous learning is still unpopular in Indonesia despite the enactment of Competence Based Curriculum which puts more emphasize on the independent aspect of learning. This paper aims to introduce some web applications which can be used by the teachers to encourage autonomous language learning, particularly the speaking skills, to their students. Speaking skill is commonly developed through practice which heavily relies on the class activities. However, the insuffcient time or class meetings becomes a hindrance for the students to practice their speaking appropriately. The applications will be discussed on the aspect of its usefullness as a teaching model sample or a lesson plan for a speaking class which emphasizes on autonomous learning concept. The paper expects to bring out new approaches and ideas to help students learning English language in an easier, faster, and in a fun way with prolonged sustainability.
