A study on self-regulatory capacity in learning English grammar of high schoolers in Gia Lai province
Abstract
This article is aimed at studying the self-regulatory capacity (SRC) of the 10th graders in Gia Lai province (10th GGP) in learning English grammar based on Dornyei [1]’s theoretical framework. This study focuses on five sub-capacities of the SRC (Commitment control (CMT), Metacognitive control (MTC), Environmental control (ENV), Emotional control (EM) and Satiation control (ST) with differences and similarities in SRC demonstrated by male and female 10th GGP in the process of learning English grammar. The findings show that the CMT and the ENV are the two most prominent abilities demonstrated while the ST and the EM are the two least prominent ones. While the male and female 10th GGP shared similarities in CMT, ENV and ST, the male 10th GGP have demonstrated the positive aspects of their MTC and EM more clearly than the female ones.
