Abstract

The present study investigated EFL learners writing self-efficacy and their metacognition. 97 English major students from a university were selected as participants. Two questionnaires assessing learners'self-efficacy and metacognitive strategies were administered. The study found that high achieving students had high self-efficacy level and high metacognition, while low achieving students had low self-efficacy and low metacognition. Besides, self-efficacy and metacognition are significantly positive corrrelated. This study has theoretical as well as pedagogical implications. EFL teachers should enhance learners'self-efficacy and train their metacognitive strategies so as to improve their writing achivements.
