Little (1995) first defines teacher autonomy as the teachers‟ capacity to engage in self-directed teaching.

Detailed explanation-2: -The idea that learners need to be able to take control over their own learning to be successful not just in class, but also to learn independently without a teacher outside the class, has become widely accepted in mainstream language teaching (Benson, 2001).

Detailed explanation-3: -Teacher-learner autonomy, by analogy with previous definitions of language learner autonomy, might be defined as the ability to develop appropriate skills, knowledge and attitudes for oneself as a teacher, in co-operation with others.
