| Popis: | This study examined the potential of “transfer of learning” for arts students and the relationships among students’ fear of failure, procrastination, and self-efficacy when learning English. Two studies were conducted; in the first study, we investigated transfer of learning for arts students between their majors and the English language. In Study 2, we explored the influence of the fear of failure, procrastination, and self-efficacy on students’ English proficiency levels. We implemented a structural equation model (SEM) to ascertain whether the fear of failure and procrastination played a mediating role between students’ self-efficacy and English proficiency levels. The participants consisted of 501 students majoring in arts. The research tools included the online General English Proficiency Test and a questionnaire. The results indicated that both hugging and bridging strategies were significantly correlated with students’ English language achievements. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that hugging strategies, such as setting expectations, matching, simulating, modeling, and practicing problem-based learning, were positive predictors. The SEM results indicated that self-efficacy had a negative effect on students’ procrastination, and both the fear of failure and procrastination played mediating roles between students’ self-efficacy and English language achievement. |
