DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENT LEARNING SKILLS OF ENGLISH PHILOLOGY STUDENTS

The development of independent learning skills is crucial for English philology students, as it enhances their ability to effectively acquire, analyze, and apply linguistic and cultural knowledge. This study explores strategies and methods that encourage autonomy in learning, with a focus on fostering critical thinking, self-regulation, and motivation. Key approaches include the integration of digital tools, project-based learning, and self-assessment techniques that empower students to take responsibility for their learning process. The study emphasizes the role of instructors in facilitating an environment that encourages exploration, reflection, and collaboration. By developing independent learning skills, students are better prepared to navigate the complexities of language acquisition, literary analysis, and cultural studies, ultimately leading to more successful academic and professional outcomes. The findings suggest that a structured yet flexible approach to independent learning can significantly enhance students' engagement, competence, and confidence in the field of English philology.
