This study investigated teachers’ understanding about learner autonomy and their practices in English classrooms. The participants for this study consisted of 85 English teachers in two local Korean cities who were teaching English in middle and high schools. The data for this study were collected for 7weeks during the fall semester of 2015. Two strategies for data collection were used: a questionnaire and interview. According to the data, teachers’ definitions of learner autonomy reflected those prevalent in the literature, with recurring support for concepts such as independence, control, responsibility, and choice. Their descriptions of how they did highlighted their role as facilitators and counselors. Also, the teachers indicated that learners did not understand the importance of developing autonomy, lacked the skills to learn independently, and were not accustomed to being asked to take responsibility for their learning. Finally, some implications based on the study results are discussed.
