The self-efficacy´s belief about teaching English in pre-service teachers.

Abstract

Due to the studies mentioned aboye, I realized that teachers' self-efficacy belief is a common theme of current researches concerning its definition and its importance, and the effects on teachers. On the other hand, 1 figured out that there is a lack of researches in this fieldfocusing at university level. The University of Quintana Roo has a Bachelor's degree in English language. This Bachelor's degree focuses on preparing competent teachers who will be able to teach English as a foreign language. In addition, courses concerning teaching training are an essential part of the program and they are compulsory in the undergraduate curriculum;in this sense,participants are enrolled in two courses that are PrácticaDocentel and PrácticaDocente II(Teaching Practice I and Teaching Practice II). Moreover, it is very important to know how pre-service teachers feel during their practice. Therefore, this study attempts to examine pre-service teachers' sense of self-efficacy in teaching English at the University of Quintana Roo (University of Quintana Roo context). This thesis focuses on pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs in teaching English (students in the last semester of a BA in English Language). Moreover, this research will study how sources of self-efficacy influence on pre-service teachers' self-efficacy.
