Abstract
This study investigated the sources of Chinese learners’ self-efficacy in English pronunciation learning to reveal their predicting power in English pronunciation performance by Chinese learners. Unlike some previous studies which found a significant correlationship between the sources of self-efficacy and learners’ academic achievement, the findings indicate that of the four sources, social persuasion are not highly correlated with learners’ pronunciation performance while mastery experience, vicarious experience, and physiological states are significantly correlated with learners’ pronunciation performance with the correlation coefficients at .48, .26 and .29 respectively. However, only mastery experience shows a significant predicting power in Chinese learners’ performance of English pronunciation.
