Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the role of self-regulation and motivation in the English self-efficacy of secondary school students and to investigate their relationship with various independent variables. This research aims to identify the factors influencing English proficiency in Türkiye and contribute to the consideration of these factors in the regulations made to improve language education in order to enhance the level of English language education. The research is conducted according to the correlational survey method. The sample of the research consists of 580 secondary school students studying in state schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Kayseri province in the 2022-2023 academic year. In the research, “English Language Skills Self-Efficacy Scale”, “Perceived Self-Regulation Scale”, “Foreign Language Learning Motivation Scale” and “Personal Information Form” were used as data collection tools. In addition to descriptive statistics, t-test, Analysis of Variance, Tukey HSD multiple comparison test, and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis were used for data analysis. As a result of the research, it was found that secondary school students’ self-regulation skills, foreign language learning motivation, students’ gender, grade level, parental education level, family income level, the place where most of their life is spent, and English report card grade were significant variables in explaining their English self-efficacy.
