Prof. Barry Bai from The Chinese University of Hong Kong at HCMC University of Technology and Education to deliver a fascinating lecture for approximately 60 English-majored students. This lecture was to share the research findings from Assoc.

We are excited to announce the upcoming lecture Motivating School Students to Write in English with Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) Strategies, delivered by Assoc.

The lecture offers participants the opportunity to: (1) explore how motivational beliefs influence SRL strategy use in writing; (2) engage in practical classroom activities designed to boost motivation and SRL strategy use, such as Stretch a Sentence, Show! Don’t Tell, ARMS, CUPS, and 3-2-1 Self-Reflection, and (3) gain actionable techniques to nurture motivated, self-regulated writers by integrating choice, autonomy, and structured strategies throughout the writing process.
