Learner autonomy plays a crucial role in language acquisition, particularly in mastering grammar, as it enables students to take responsibility for their learning. This article explores the significance of learner independence in language learning, highlighting its benefits such as increased motivation, critical thinking skills, and long-term retention of grammar rules. The discussion emphasizes the role of grammar in communicative competence and presents effective strategies to promote autonomous grammar learning. Discovery-Based Learning, Socratic Questioning, Task-Based Grammar Learning, and Corpus-based Exploration are examined as strategies that encourage learners to actively engage with grammatical structures rather than passively memorize rules. By fostering critical thinking, self-reflection, and problem-solving, these approaches help students internalize grammar more effectively and develop long-lasting learning habits.
