Publisher's Synopsis
"Good language learners" are self-regulated learners who are able to monitor their own learning, develop their learning strategies, overcome their learning anxiety, keep themselves motivated and engaged in the language learning process, and be responsible for their own learning (Sykes, 2015). The importance of utilizing self-regulated learning strategies for the acquisition of foreign languages is well established in the literature
(Lam, 2014; Nejabati, 2015). Self-regulated learning strategies should be taught to language learners because these strategies increase the learners' language proficiency (Nejabati, 2015). Self-regulation, self-efficacy, cognitive learning strategies, and metacognitive strategies are all involved in the process of foreign language acquisition and are well documented in the literature as necessary to foreign language success (Mills, Pajares, & Herron, 2007; Tung-Hsien, Shan-Mao, Shu-Hui Eileen, & Wen Johnny, 2012;Wang, Spencer, & Xing, 2009; Yusri, Rahimi, Shah, & Wah, 2013).
