Abstract: Learners’ expectation of autonomy plays an important role in the design of the online English course. This paper discusses a way to satisfy learners’ expectations of autonomy in the design of the online English course based on the structuralism theory and humanistic theory. The authors also show that designing the learning environment with humanistic consideration is also quite helpful to satisfy learners’ autonomy and improve the quality of the online English course.
