The Relationship between Determinant Factors of Self-Regulation Strategies and Main Language Skills and Overall Proficiency

The present study was conducted based on the social cognitive theory of Bandura (1986) and Zimmerman (l989) to investigate how determinant factors of self-regulation strategies have a relationship with main four language skills and overall proficiency. The results of correlational analyses presented that behavioural self-regulation strategies have positive relationships with reading, writing, speaking and overall proficiency. Moreover environmental self- regulation strategies positively correlated with speaking. Also, regression analyses indicated that reading is the only language skill which could be predicted by behavioural self-regulation.
