Özet
Purpose: Students in Turkey have difficulty reaching fluency in English. Affective factors in teaching English are as important as cognitive factors. Perceived self-efficacy, an affective factor, is known to influence learning a second language. This study explores the effects of a university preparatory school's English curriculum on its students' self-efficacy beliefs to understand if the design, application and evaluation of the curriculum could be better suited to English language learners.
