THE CORRELATIONS AMONG LS USE, SE LEVEL, AND ENGLISH PROFICIENCY

This book investigates and reports a controversial issue regarding conflicting evidence in previous research as to the correlations among college students’ learning strategy (LS) use, self-efficacy (SE) levels, and English receptive proficiency (ERP). After performing correlation and regression analyses on the data collected, the students’ ERP levels were found to be significantly correlated to each, and total LS use with low correlation coefficients. Besides, by using a Taiwanese original SE questionnaire with proper modifications, students’ SE levels were significantly correlated to ERP levels and LS use with low and low-to-medium correlation coefficients, respectively.
