Abstract
This quantitative study aims at designing and further applying the questionnaire for evaluating students’ self-efficacy among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in China. Based on previous studies, the author adapted the questionnaire for measuring EFL learners’ self-efficacy and further designed a revised survey. Two sets of participants, in total 467 EFL students at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications participated in the survey. The author used the responses of the first set of 236 participants (97 female and 139 male) for exploratory factor analysis and the responses of the second set of 231 students (91 female and 140 male) for confirmatory factor analysis. The results provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the scale. Related implications were proposed at the end.
