چکیده:

WTC is very significant for English learners. Without WTC it is impossible to use the target language. On the other hand, developing learner autonomy as the independence in one’s own learning is considered a crucial goal of education.”Moreover” than that learner autonomy in WTC is a necessity that has to be considered in language education. In this study, the researcher investigated whether there is any statistically significant relationship between learner autonomy and WTC among Iranian EFL learners. To this end, 72 English learners were homogenized out of 105 Intermediate learners. A learner autonomy questionnaire and a WTC scale, was given to them; and they were observed, for measuring situational WTC. The quantitative data gathered through these instruments were analyzed to determine the degree of correlation between these two variables. The results demonstrated a significant and moderate relationship between learner autonomy and WTC among intermediate Iranian EFL. Moreover Iranian intermediate EFL learners in this study enjoyed willing to communicate and to some extent are autonomous. Thus, it can be concluded that a significant relationship between learner autonomy and WTC can be seen in Iranian EFL learners.
