Self-access learning has recently received much attention from language practitioners, educators and linguists in the language learning field. Much emphasis has been put on the effectiveness of the self-access system. However, it is difficult to locate studies concerning the learning patterns in self-access systems.

This paper looks on two levels into the different learning patterns among university students studying in a self-access learning environment. First, it addresses the impact of the different learning patterns on language learning under self-access systems. Second, the paper discusses our research findings on the learning patterns among university students when learning in the self-access mode and proposes appropriate self-access working models to enhance language learning.
