The Relationship between L2 Motivational Self System and Self-Regulated Learning Strategies among Thai Undergraduate Students

Abstract

The present study investigated the relationship between Dörnyei (2005)’s L2 motivational self system components and self-regulated learning strategies. A questionnaire was administered to a group of second-year undergraduate students at Nakhon Phanom University. To this end, a Pearson correlation coefficient and a standard multiple regression analysis were implemented. The results of the correlation analysis showed that among the components of L2 motivational self system, criterion measure and ideal L2 self were moderately correlated with self-regulated learning strategies. The results of the standard multiple regression analysis also revealed that criterion measure was the strongest predictor of self-regulated learning strategies
