Relationship among language self-efficacy,learning strategies and academic achievement——An empirical research on College English study of non-English majors

This study examines the relationship among self-efficacy,learning strategies and academic achievement of 266 non-English majors.The results indicate that students of liberal arts are found to have a significantly higher self-efficacy level and academic achievement than students of science;female students outperform male students in academic achievement,overall strategy use and cognitive and metacognitive strategy use;while no significant findings link gender to self-efficacy.There is a significant positive correlation among students' self-efficacy,learning strategies and academic achievement.Results by regression analysis show that self-efficacy and cognitive and metacognitive strategy use have direct impacts on the academic achievement of college students and self-efficacy may impact the academic achievement indirectly through its influence on the use of learning strategies.
