Abstract	Through self-study, students are believed to develop new learning strategies, new motivation, reflection and critical thinking. The current study was conducted in the College of Basic Education, the English Department--Kuwait. 324 female students participated in answering an extensive questionnaire related to the topic of self-study. In addition, group interviews were conducted by the researcher, which assisted in gaining further in sight of the students' point of view related to the importance of self-study and reasons behind their selection. While most participating students recommended self-learning, they also insisted on the importance of the teacher's role.
