Self-regulated learning: A key factor in the effectiveness of online learning for second language learners

Abstract

With the further development of Internet technology, online learning has become an important way for learners in the digital age. As an important learning strategy, self-regulated learning plays an important role in e-learning. Whether learners can succeed in the network learning environment largely depends on their online self-regulating learning ability. This research reviews the theories and models of self-regulated learning, and analyzes the influences of individual factors and external factors on second language self-regulated learning in the online learning environment. And some implications in learning and teaching are given, as well as suggestions for future research.
