THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IRANIAN JUNIOR HIGHSCHOOL LEARNERS ATTITUDES TOWARDS CALL AND ACADEMIC SELF-REGULATION IN LEARNING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

The present study was designed to find out the relationship between Iranian junior high-school learners’ attitudes towards CALL and academic self-regulation in learning English as a foreign language. Two hundred and thirteen junior high-school students participated in the study. The CALL Attitude Questionnaire and Academic Self-Regulated Learning survey were distributed among learners and the data were gathered from participants based on the information in the questionnaires. Correlation Coefficient procedure was used to answer the research question. The analysis of the results revealed that there is a significant and positive relationship between learners’ CALL attitudes and academic self-regulation (r=.29, ρ<.00). The findings showed that the more learners have positive attitudes towards CALL, they more they are likely to be self-regulated in language learning.
