| Abstract |
|
This study analyzes the difference of learning beliefs and strategies between college English majors and Non-English majors. The study forwards three specific research questions: 1) What are the differences in their English learning strategies and beliefs? 2) What are the differences in their acquired English proficiency resulting from their English learning strategies and beliefs? 3) Does a correlation exist between their English learning strategies and beliefs? We surveyed 99 English majors and 99 Non-English majors on their English learning strategies and beliefs on English performance. The results of this study are as follows: First, English majors have more learning strategies and beliefs while the learning English ability of English majors is higher than Non-English majors. Second, the correlation between learning beliefs and learning ability ismore significant than the correlation between the learning strategies and the learning ability. Finally, this study verifies that a stronger belief in learning English leads to greater English proficiency. |
