A Comprehensive Study on the Scaffolding for Remedial Learners to Improve Autonomy in English Language in Japan

对来自13所高校的3587名大学生按英语词汇测试成绩分为三个等级，调查了他们对英语学习的看法。结果一是区分高、中、低百分位组的主要因素之一是认知策略的使用。结果二是在考察了大学生认知策略使用与内在价值的因果关系后，发现后者是前者的原因。因此，本研究建议教师应努力培养学生英语学习的内在价值。

3587 college students from 13 universities were divided into three levels according to the score of an English vocabulary test and investigated about their perception of English language learning. Result one was that one of the major factors which differentiate the upper from the middle and lower percentile groups was the use of cognitive strategies. Result two was that after investigating the cause and the effect between their use of cognitive strategy and intrinsic value, the latter was the cause of the former. Therefore, this study suggests teachers should try to develop their students' intrinsic value for English language learning.
