The current article, organized into two parts, aims at offering both theoretical and hands-on knowledge by focusing on the use of digital resources in the development of the autonomy of the agents involved in the English teaching-learning process. In the first part, using a theoretical approach guided by the complexity theory, we propose to offer a brief overview of the concept of autonomy as a complex adaptive system. In the second part, using a hands-on approach, we seek to discuss possible uses of various digital resources, available for free on the internet, that can positively contribute to the promotion of the teacher and learner autonomy.Downloads
