This research work entitled "English Language Learning in Self-Access Centre" is an attempt to investigate and analyze teachers’perception on SAC learning and students practice on SACs learning. In this study, I explored students’self-learning independent endeavor for autonomous learning outside the dependent and teacher quite classroom practices. Furthermore, Ianalyzedteachers’perception aboutstudents’selfpractices onSACs learning. It is a qualitative inquiry, based on multi-method approach, descriptive and narrative analysis of the data. I collected data from two secondary schools of Kaski and Parbat district by using questionnaires for 40 students and interview for 4 teachers. The data were interpreted narratively. The findings of this research showed that the students’ endeavour of independent learning helped their classroom learning and teachers were positive on them. Students did not read in the SACs but they developed all four language skills as well as aspects of language.
