ABSTRACT: While self-efficacy has been investigated actively within the field of
education, there is a current dearth of research on the English self-efficacy
of art major students in the Chinese context. The present investigation aimed
to explore the overall situation of English
learning self-efficacy, the differences of art students by type of
college and gender in English self-efficacy. The study was conducted by using
mix-method with 211 participants. The research found that art students’ English
learning self-efficacy is generally at the middle level, with the highest sense of behavior processing and the
lowest sense of behavioral competence
judgment. There was no significant difference in the type of college, but there was a significant difference
in gender. This study thus provides empirical evidence that a more
thorough consideration of strategies for improving English self-efficacy in art
major students is needed.
