The present study was an attempt to review the importance of learner autonomy in Willingness to Communicate of language learners. It has tried to investigate to find out whether autonomy is a significant predictor of willingness to communicate. As the review of the related literature and discussion revealed, it was concluded that learner autonomy is considered to be a very important and decisive factor in Willingness to Communicate of language learners. The answer to the research question would be yes and therefore, the null hypothesis claiming that the autonomy is not the significant predictor of willingness to communicate is rejected and autonomy is one of the significant factors affecting WTC.
