“…In addition, findings of Somaye, Tarlan, and Moslm (2015) indicated about fruitful results of instructing self -regulation learning strategies because it is helpful in decreasing the test anxiety and beneficial in increasing the self-confidence (in subjects of math and biology) among high schools students of Iran. In the same way, it was observed in Iran that EFL undergraduate learners (experimental group) performed significantly better in reading tests as compared to control group in Iran (Nejabati, 2015).…”

Protentep's (2008) study is on SRL by Thai students in an extensive reading program; Kartika (2015) investigated Self-regulated learning in writing; Nejabati (2015) on the effect of locus of control training on students' reading comprehension, and Zhao (2016) on foreign language teachers' guide for postgraduate students in academic reading course are among a very few reports that may be found in the literature.…”
