“…Self-efficacy is developed through four domain sources: enactive mastery experience , vicarious experience , verbal persuasion , and physiological and emotional states ( Bandura, 1997 ). Enactive mastery experience is a students’ self-perceived ability to successfully perform a task based on previous attainments ( Zhang and Ardasheva, 2019 ). Students interpret the attainments of their previous tasks and use the interpretations to develop beliefs of their capability to perform subsequent tasks ( Dinther et al, 2011 ).…”

Understanding learners’ translating self-efficacy belief helps predict their ability to cope and translation performance during their career. Despite this connection, the assessment of self-efficacy during learning has been largely overlooked in translation research. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an instrument to examine belief in self-efficacy in a sample of Chinese translation learners. Scale items were collected and refined based on an expert-panel consensus opinion. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis across two independent samples (Sample I = 193 and Sample II = 247) revealed and validated a three-dimensional structure: efficacy in internal competence, efficacy in psycho-physical competence, and efficacy in external competence. These findings provide supporting evidence for scale applications in educating translators.

“…In the domain of English pronunciation, several studies were conducted on the relationship of pronunciation self-efficacy and pronunciation performance (Kalanzadeh, Mahnegar, Hassannejad, & Bakhtiarvand, 2013;Koosha, Ketabi, & Kassaian, 2011;Sardegna, 2012). In addition, regarding self-efficacy sources, researchers determined the relationship between self-efficacy sources and pronunciation performance (Yang, 2017), and between self-efficacy sources and public speaking skills (Zhang & Ardasheva, 2019). However, there is a lack of research regarding the relationship between pronunciation self-efficacy sources and self-efficacy beliefs.…”

This study was conducted to find the association between pronunciation self-efficacy sources and pronunciation self-efficacy beliefs. It was quantitative in nature using a correlational research design. A sample of 155 Malaysian ESL university students was selected from two Malaysian universities by employing proportionate stratified random sampling. Two questionnaires were used to collect the data related to pronunciation self-efficacy sources and self-efficacy beliefs. In order to analyze the collected data, the correlational analysis was carried out with a statistical software named Smart PLS 3.0. Findings indicated that all the self-efficacy sources were significantly and positively correlated with pronunciation self-efficacy beliefs, except physiological state, which was significantly but negatively correlated with pronunciation self-efficacy beliefs. Based on the outcomes of this study, implications for ESL instructors and educational policymakers were presented.
