CBT Teaching Experts: Developing self-efficacy
During this session, the focus will be on the concept of self-efficacy.
It is one thing to create and provide an effective exam preparation course, but having students who possess the belief that they can fit in learning time into their busy schedules and accomplish their objectives is an entirely different matter. What exactly is self-efficacy, and how can it be cultivated in the language learning setting? Should students be encouraged to alter their beliefs, or is it preferable to work with their existing beliefs as they enter the class?
