Building the Self-Efficacy Beliefs of English Language Learners and TeachersNew Perspectives for Research, Teaching and Learning\nAuthor(s): Mark Wyatt, Farahnaz Faez\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032459332, 978-1032459332\nSynopsis\nBuilding the Self-Efficacy Beliefs of English Language Learners and Teachers explores, juxtaposes and bridges two fields of research that have developed separately: the self-efficacy beliefs of English language learners and the self-efficacy beliefs of English language teachers. The aim is to expand understanding in each field and highlight how the two areas can mutually inform each other. This should encourage fresh perspectives, providing direction for researchers, and improving learning, teaching, and teacher education.\n\nEmpirical research suggests that English language learners and teachers who believe they can fulfil a task are more likely to succeed than those who believe.
