The article describes some features of developing student’s cognitive autonomy in foreign language learning. The paper analyzes the content of the key concept defined by different researchers. According to the article, the integrative quality of a student’s autonomy includes some structural components, such as: motivational-volitional, practice-oriented, substantive-methodical, and reflexive. The authors characterize each of them in detail. The paper presents the results of the conducted experimental research on applying the worked out model for developing students cognitive autonomy in foreign languages learning and proves that it is possible to influence effectively the process of forming cognitive autonomy of modern university students.
