A SEM Study of the Relationships of Foreign Language Learning Strategies to Motivation,Self-Efficacy and Language Proficiency

语言学习策略在语言学习中发挥着重要作用。为系统理解其在学习过程中的性质,语言学习策略需要与其他相关因素诸如学习动机、自我效能感和语言水平等联系起来进行分析。现以108名非英语专业大学生为样本,对语言学习策略、自我效能感、学习动机和语言水平进行了调查。采用结构方程建模(SEM)对数据进行了分析。结果显示,自我效能感对学习动机和学习策略具有直接影响,学习动机对学习策略具有直接影响,学习策略进一步影响语言水平。此外,不同动机成分之间也存在复杂的关系。研究结果对于外语教学具有重要启示。
