However, it is never easy for each of the senior high school students to make regulation to their learning to have a better performance in English and there are several challenges in the way that the students have to confront with。论文网

First of all, with the development of technology, various temptation breaks into the high school students’ life, such as online games, TV series, social chat applications an so on。 Nowadays, the students are exposed to those electronic devices too earlier, which leads to the consequence that the students’ life is crowded with endless distraction and it’s become a lot harder for the students to be a self-regulated learner。

Second, self-regulated learner needs to make sure the main steps of his own regulation in learning。 Self-regulated learner requires one’s ability to plan and practice。 And what’s most importance part of self-regulated learner is patience and perseverance in that it’s easy to stick to your own regulation and force yourself to do something one day or several but absolutely difficult to stick to it until it is accepted as a habit。

1。2 Practical Significance

The research about the influence of self-regulated learning on the learning outcome in English among the senior high school students has never be delivered before。 The research is quite valuable and worthwhile enough to deliver because having more knowledge about the relationship between self-regulated learning and learning outcome in English definitely has positive effects on improving students learning outcomes so as to get higher marks in examination。
