“…Studies have found significant gender differences in English learning fatigue among college students, with females exhibiting greater proficiency in foreign language learning. Elevating the standards of English teaching in primary and secondary schools before higher education and encouraging and reinforcing language learning skills among male students may be beneficial (Xu et al, 2022).…”

Mindfulness meditation is a technique for regulating attention and emotions, which can help individuals enhance self-awareness and reduce stress. This paper aims at review the positive effects of mindfulness meditation on English learners and teachers, including improving English learning abilities and enhancing motivation, confidence, and enjoyment in English learning. Through systematic literature searches and screening methods from databases such as CNKI, Wan fang, Pub Med, and Web of Science, relevant papers on mindfulness meditation and English learning from the past decade were selected. Their research purposes, methods, innovations, and conclusions were analyzed. This paper specifically explores the literature review on the impact of mindfulness meditation on English learning, summarizing both the theory and practice of mindfulness meditation, and proposing future research directions and suggestions. Mindfulness meditation has a positive impact on English learning and classroom teaching, but its specific effects are influenced by various factors such as the type, duration, and frequency of mindfulness meditation. More empirical research is needed to validate its effects on English learning and to explore the optimal integration methods.

“…Several studies have focused on examining the factors of burnout among students (Kaharudin et al, 2023;Mohd Shazali et al, 2023;Xu et al, 2022;Zhong & Liu et al, 2022;Zolkapli et al, 2023). These studies mainly relate to motivation and demotivation factors in investigating the causes of burnout which simultaneously affect language achievement negatively (Kaharudin et al, 2023;Mohd Shazali et al, 2023;Xu et al, 2022;Zhong & Liu et al, 2022;Zolkapli et al, 2023). The implications of these findings showed that the development of students' burnout in particular may correlate with gender and students' stress and self-efficacy on learning the language.…”

“…In a recent study on factors of burnout, Xu et al (2022) constructed a moderated mediation model to study whether English language self-efficacy intervened in the interrelation of English learning stress and English learning burnout and if this intervened relation was impacted by gender and mindfulness of 1130 Chinese undergraduate students. The findings indicated that English learning self-efficacy significantly affected the relation of English learning burnout and English learning stress for both genders.…”

English is crucial to achieve academic success and fulfil social needs of the language in today’s society. Several studies have reported that the reasons for learning English could facilitate learners to learn the language more seriously with the aim to be proficient and successful in acquiring the language. However, the reasons for learning the English language may be a factor that could lead to academic burnout. Therefore, this study explored the reasons for learning English and burnout among pre-university students. A quantitative approach was done to investigate reasons for learning English and its relation to students’ burnout. The survey used was derived from Pintrich and De Groot’s (1990) reasons for learning and Campos et al.’s (2011) causes of burnout. A purposive sample of 271 UiTM Centre of Foundation Studies students responded to the survey. The findings of this study revealed the affective component was the most significant cause of academic burnout due to maladaptive perfectionism whereby learners were concerned about making mistakes especially when they focused on learning English to excel in tests and examinations. Conclusively, the relationship between the reasons for learning English language and cause of burnout has prominent implications for academic institutions and educators to foster a positive and successful learning environment by providing resources and assistance programmes for students to manage academic difficulties and social stresses in English language learning.

“…Due to the fact that having a better proficiency in the English language requires students to have higher self-efficacy in performing various activities involving the language (Anam and Stracke, 2020), some researchers have found differences between men and women in terms of self-efficacy scores related to English achievement (Kutuk et al, 2022;Xu et al, 2022). For example, higher levels of self-efficacy for writing have been recorded for males compared to females (Ramos-Villagrasa et al, 2018); however, another study showed a stronger relationship between self-efficacy in writing and writing performance for female students than for male students (Pajares et al, 2001).…”

BackgroundEnglish is a global language used to communicate with members of the international community. Self-efficacy in learning English is an important factor that is influenced by perceived importance, interest, and beliefs about the ability to successfully perform tasks in English.ObjectiveThe aim is to develop and validate a measurement instrument to assess English self-efficacy.MethodsA total of 453 students from different Peruvian universities participated, with ages ranging from 18 to 60 years (M = 23; SD = 6.18). Statistical techniques for latent variables were used and recommendations for educational and psychological tests were followed in its construction. The sample was divided into two groups to perform exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).ResultsThe English Self-Efficacy Scale (ESS-P) is representative and relevant in terms of its item content (Aiken’s V > 0.70). Its internal structure is organized into three first order factors and a second order factor that are consistent with the theoretical proposal and was confirmed through CFA with excellent goodness-of-fit indices (χ2 = 1184.9, gl = 626, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.06 y SRMR = 0.04). It also has adequate internal consistency in its three factors (Reading α/ω = 0.96), Oral Communication (α/ω = 0.95), and Writing (α/ω = 0.97) and the whole scale (α/ω = 0.98), is invariant with respect to sex, and has a conceptual relationship with variables such as academic self-efficacy and exam anxiety.ConclusionThe ESS-P is a measurement instrument with evidence of validity, factorial invariance, and good reliability of its scores. Therefore, it can be used in future studies in the academic context.
