Individual differences among EFL learners have been widely accepted
playing important roles on successful English learners. EFL teachers should
encourage the language learners to improve their self-efficacy and language learning
strategy use especially metacognitive by seeking the ways to increase their experience
or years of English study. This also should necessarily result in change in their beliefs
and learning strategy use especially about foreign language learning because people
with high self-efficacy—that is, those who believe they can perform well—are more
likely to view difficult tasks as something to be mastered rather than something to be
avoided. Moreover, metacognitive strategies are needed for planning, monitoring, and
evaluating learning. Started from this understanding, it can be widely believed that
both learners’ self-efficacy and metaconitive strategy are undoubtedly powerful
variables on enhancing the learners’ English proficiency. Thus, this paper will focus
on exploring EFL learner's self-efficacy beliefs and metacognitive strategies use to
enhance their English proficiency
