Abstract

The English Cloze Test evaluates students' foundational English knowledge and provides a relatively accurate indication of students' overall English proficiency. The researchers conducted this study quantitatively using surveys and Partial Least Square-Structural Equational Modelling (PLS-SEM). They involved 562 middle school students, including senior and junior high school students; it attempted to establish a relationship model of English learning strategies, motivation and self-efficacy in Cloze Test learning and study the relationship between these in terms of gender, grade level, and English scores. The study discovered a significant positive correlation between learning strategy and motivation and between motivation and self-efficacy. Furthermore, there are significant positive correlations between English scores and learning strategies, motivation, and self-efficacy; gender exhibited a negative correlation with self-efficacy; and negative correlations between grade level and learning strategies.
