Language center teachers´sense of self-efficacy about research and teaching.

Abstract

This study investigates two areas that have not frequently been searched, at least not in Mexico: research self-efficacy and teaching self-efficacy among EFL language teachers. Regarding languages. Researches have revealed that self-efficacy beliefs influence how people think, feel, motivate themselves and act (Zulkosky, 2009). Teachers with high level of self-efficacy believe more in themselves and in their students (Erden and Demirel, 2007). Additionally, a positive relationship among self-esteem, self-efficacy and job satisfaction has been found in previous research (Reilly, Dingra and Budoszek, 2014).
