Interest in autonomous learning in recent years has manifested itself in the proliferation of self-access centers in many different forms all over the world. This is no less true within Japan where local self-access centers showcase a diverse range of applications to this approach to autonomous language learning. A brief overview of self-access typologies and the subsequent classification of four observed models will serve as a framework for the model evolving at Osaka Shoin Women's University. The concept of "peer collaboration" and "learner community" as additional components for the Shoin model of self-access as a parallel but no less essential step towards autonomy will be introduced in tandem with the pedagogical necessity of this addition for the students at this university.
