Abstract

Students have different motivation in learning particularly in the context of learning English as a foreign language. One that motivates students in learning the target language is their self-efficacy. To optimize the English learning process, this study aims to find out the level of second-grade senior high school students’ self-efficacy. The study which was conducted to a class also investigated the factors affecting their self-efficacy in learning English. To achieve the objectives, a case study design with multiple instruments was employed in this study. Data analysis showed that the students’ self-efficacy levels were varied encompassing low, moderate and high level. The data also revealed that there were several factors influencing students’ self-efficacy. Relevant pedagogical implications to increase students’ self-efficacy in learning English are discussed in this paper.
