Self Regulated Learning

AbstractThe study investigated the effects of an intervention program on self-regulated learning designed for second language learners. One hundred and twenty participants who were sophomore English majors at a university in China were randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group. The intervention was composed of six weekly two-hour training sessions that focus on five main variables of self-regulatory processes: goal setting, self-efficacy, time and study environment management, language learning strategies, and attribution. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention included multiple outcome variables, which were grouped into three categories: students’ motivational beliefs, students’ strategy use, and students’ academic performance. The results of the immediate training effects on goal setting, self-efficacy, attribution, time and study environment management, memory strategy, compensation strategy, metacognitive strategy and second language proficiency confirmed that academic self-regulation is a trainable student characteristic and self-regulation training can be used effectively in a second language classroom setting. The feature of the current study design allows for systematically examining and evaluating both motivational variables and learning strategies in the context of second language learning.

Cognitive And Metacognitive Strategies

The language learning strategies of adult second-language learners get more important as education concentrates more on individualisation and flexibility. In a multiple case study, it was examined which learning strategies were utilised by some lower educated, second-language learners who were working on their own in a class room, with a system called 'Indiflex' It was concluded that observing is a useful method to make learning strategies operational. Starting learners of Dutch as a second language already turned out to use a broad range of social, cognitive and metacognitive strategies. As learners make more progress in the language, the number of negative strategies (skipping difficult tasks for example) and social strategies (like asking for help) seems to decrease in favour of cognitive and metacognitive strategies like looking something up in a dictionary and deducing a word's meaning from its context.
