Description
In recent years, there has been growing attention to the role of self-regulated learning strategies and self-efficacy in enhancing English speaking skills within higher education, especially in language learning contexts where autonomous learning is increasingly emphasized. This study examines English-speaking self-regulated learning (ESSRL) strategies and their correlation with English-speaking self-efficacy (ESSE) among 107 third-year and 113 second-year English majors at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade. Using a quantitative approach, questionnaires measured students' ESSE and ESSRL to assess their confidence and self-regulation strategies. Results indicate that students have moderate ESSE and ESSRL levels. A positive correlation was found between ESSE and ESSRL, suggesting that strengthening self-regulation could significantly enhance students' speaking confidence and abilities. These findings provide valuable insights for English educators seeking to foster self-regulated learning in speaking development.
