Abstract

Second language (L2) Learners' beliefs about English have become one of important factors to influence their self-regulated learning capacities and achievements. This exploratory study investigated L2 learners' style preferences of learning English in distance education programs based on the results of 186 pieces of questionnaires retrieved. Statistical analyses of questionnaires show that L2 learners don't have adequate self-regulated learning capabilities with reference to learning motivation, learning attitudes, strategy use and self-assessment though they accept the open education context well, which may contribute to the development of pedagogical strategies to improve students' learning efficacy at the Open University of China
