Xu Fang, Tan Cuifeng, Zhang Yiran
Abstract

The connotation of autonomous learning is expanding as time progressed. Under the background of “Internet plus” education, colleges and universities pay more attention to the application of network teaching resources in teaching. Universities intensified the reform of college English teaching and built platforms for autonomous learning, supplementing the shortcomings of English classroom teaching and improving students' autonomous learning ability. This paper takes local college students as the research object, makes an investigation and analyzes the situations of college students autonomous learning. The findings suggested that the following questions are addressed: lack of motivation of autonomous learning, lack of self-exploration of effective learning strategies, lack of the ability of multiple interactions. This paper will give relevant strategies for building a platform for college English autonomous learning to promote and cultivate students' independent learning ability of foreign languages.
