RESEARCH ON SELF-REGULATED LEARNING ABILITY AND ITS INFLUENCING FACTORS AMONG ENGLISH MAJORS IN THE CONTEXT OF CHINA'S HAINAN FREE TRADE PORT

Qiao Jing

Abstract


Based on the Social Cognitive Theory, this study explores the relationship between self-efficacy, learning motivation, and self-regulated learning ability among English majors in the context of China's Hainan Free Trade Port. Through a survey of 300 English majors from three universities in Hainan Province, it was found that self-efficacy has a significant positive impact on self-regulated learning ability in English, with learning motivation mediating this relationship. The results validate the applicability of the Social Cognitive Theory in the field of English learning and provide theoretical references and practical guidance for enhancing the self-regulated learning ability of English majors.
