The objective of this study is to emphasize the significance of fostering learner autonomy among second language learners, particularly focusing on BS English students in six universities in Southern Punjab. The aim is to investigate how promoting autonomy can contribute to enhancing language proficiency. Encouraging language learners to become autonomous is a crucial academic goal with potential benefits for language proficiency. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 practicing teachers from these universities to explore the extent to which learner autonomy is promoted in the classrooms. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the interview data and draw meaningful insights. The findings from the data analysis suggest a promising scope for implementing learner autonomy practices in BS English classrooms in Southern Punjab. Additionally, respondents expressed the need for changes in the existing curriculum and assessment techniques within these universities
