Shim, Jaewoo, Lee, Heechul & Jin, Seunghee. (2016). A Study on the Correlation between Self-Efficacy Beliefs and Strategies in English Reading. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 24(2), 101-125. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between reading strategies and reading self-efficacy beliefs. A total of 219 Korean EFL middle school students completed the questionnaires on L2 reading strategies and reading self-efficacy beliefs. Canonical correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between two sets of dependent variables and independent variables. The dependent variable set consisted of Global, Support, and Problem-Solving Strategies underlying reading strategies, and the independent variables were Initiative, Effort, Performance, and Persistence within reading self-efficacy beliefs. The study results showed that 32.9% of the variance between the dependent variable set of reading strategies and independent variable set of reading self-efficacy beliefs was explained by the canonical variate. Pedagogical implications based on the findings are discussed.
