Main Article Content

Abstract

Online high school programs in Mexico include between two and four English courses within their curricula, designed to foster the development of the four language skills. Given the asynchronous nature of these programs, learning requires a high level of autonomy from students. Therefore, to achieve these objectives, it is essential to promote autonomous learning strategies that strengthen students’ linguistic development and contribute to an integral and high-quality education at this educational level. This article outlines several relevant strategies.
