چکیده:
Self-regulation is the ability to regulate one‘s actions, behaviors and thoughts to
achieve goals. In the same line, self-regulated learning (SRL) refers to plans and
behaviors to reach one‘s learning goals. Therefore, this research probed into the
effect of training English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners according to
Zimmerman and Moylan‘s self-regulated learning (SRL) model when directed at
reading on their motivation for EFL reading. Moreover, the moderating role of the
learners‘ proficiency level was investigated, as well. Self-regulation strategies which
can be used while reading were taught to two experimental groups; they were
trained to implement the three phases of Zimmerman and Moylan‘s cyclic SRL
model while trying to make sense of the reading sections of their textbook.
Meanwhile, two control groups received the traditional, routine reading instruction.
The data of the study were collected through Mori‘s questionnaire of motivation for
EFL reading before and after the treatment. A two-way analysis of covariance
showed that self-regulation training, when directed at EFL reading, could
significantly enhance the participants‘ motivation for EFL reading, but their level of
proficiency did not have any moderating role in the outcome of self-regulation
training. These findings can encourage teachers to train EFL learners in selfregulation
strategies with the purpose of improving their motivation for reading.

In addition, very few studies on the role of self-regulation in motivation for L2/EFL reading (e.
Does self-regulation training through Zimmerman and Moylan‘s (2009) SRL model have any significant impact on the participants‘ motivation for EFL reading?
As Table 6 indicates, after adjusting for pretest scores, the results of the two-way ANCOVA on the motivation for EFL reading questionnaire Journal of Modern Research in English Language Studies 5(4), 131-154.
The results also revealed that participants‘ proficiency level did not moderate the impact of self-regulation instruction on the EFL learners‘ motivation for reading.
This shows that self-regulation processes can be utilized equally effectively at both intermediate and advanced levels in order to promote learners‘ motivation for reading in English.
This shows that EFL material developers and instructors need not be concerned about the students‘ proficiency level when including self-regulation processes in reading books and practices.
