Keywords freshmen perceptions learning habits independent study program Independent learning is an approach to stimulate students autonomous learning. Independent learning places learners role in the center of the learning process and encourages them to become autonomous learners. At the English Department Faculty of Letters State University of Malang the Independent Study (IS) has been conducted in the English Self-Access Center (ESAC) which accommodates various language learning activities. IS includes scheduled required session in which students have to work on their weaknesses as well as non-scheduled enjoyment sessions in which they can experience less formal language learning activities at their own convenience. The purpose of this research is to reveal these groups of students perceptions on some categories of items and see how the two groups would perform in IS in ESAC given their differences in many aspects including English proficiency level and autonomy level. This research used a descriptive qualitative research design. A 20-item Likert scale was distributed to investigate the perceptions and learning habits of first-year English Department students in the fully required IS group and those in the partially-required IS group towards Independent Study Program at Universitas Negeri Malang. The subjects of the study were 100 English Department first-year students of ELT Program of 2016/2017 academic year. For the learning habits the data were generated from the use of rubrics of activities frequency from students report booklets. The data are collected through the Likert scale rubrics of activity frequency and then analyzed descriptively. The results of the analysis yielded several findings. First the students in the partially-required Independent Study session group were found to be closer to the characterization of autonomous learners than the fully required IS group looking by their perceptions on many topics. Most of the students from both groups indicated that they still maintain teacher dependency to some extent. In terms of learning habits the two groups of students differ in trends during the IS Program implementation. Group A the partially-required IS groups dominated in almost every category of activities listed. Based on the results of this study some suggestions can be made. For the English Department it is hoped that they can help students in raising the awareness on how important it is to be autonomous learners and realize the value of efforts and facilities provided by the institution particularly in the form of ESAC and IS Programs. For further researchers the study of the same topic with different parameters angles and variables is encouraged to be conducted so that more is known of how to encourage learners to be autonomous.
