The Relationship between L2 Self-concept and L2 Achievement

摘要：

　　This study is to explore the relationship between second language(L2)self-concept and L2 achievement for second language learners.A questionnaire survey was conducted among 347 middle school students in China,all of whom have studied English as their second language for about six to eight years.Results of this study revealed that L2 self-concept is positively and significantly related to L2 achievement; learners with higher L2 self-concept tend to show relatively better L2 achievement; the development of L2 self-concept and its correlation with L2 achievement vary across learning stages,showing a developmental progression.Findings of this research can contribute to the academic study and research of L2 self-concept and provide implications for L2 learning and teaching.The study suggests that both L2 teachers and learners should attach more importance to the positive relationship between L2 self-concept on L2 achievement and adopt various methods to enhance the learnersL2 self-concept so as to improve their L2 achievement.
