This research article explores the methodological basis for the development of independent learning competence among students in English language teaching programs. Independent learning competence, a key skill for language learners, involves the ability to manage one’s learning process, select appropriate resources, and engage in reflective practices. The article provides a comprehensive literature review on the theoretical foundations of independent learning and discusses various teaching methodologies that can support its development in English language learners.
