Introduction The issue autonomy or independent learning is not new in the field of language education in all over the world. In Vietnam this matter has greatly been paid attention since 2007 when the Ministry of Education and Training issued Decree 43 which requested the application of the credit-based training system in all universities. One of the most important requirements of this training system is encouraging students to study independently after class which means that the time for official class meeting in comparison with that of the term- based training system is reduced and the students study time out of class .
