- Abstract
The aim of this research paper is to determine the attitudes of the first-year English majors towards the use of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies in academic paragraph writing at Van Lang University in Vietnam. The sample for this study consisted of 50 first-year English-majored students selected from four classes. A set of 30-item questionnaires adapted from Abadikhah, Aliyan and Talebi's questionnaire (2018) together with interviews served as instruments for data collection. Descriptive analysis indicated that students used SRL strategies in their writing at a moderate level. The findings revealed the majority of students got into trouble with three dimensions, namely method, time management and motive in writing process. Despite some unavoidable difficulties in writing, students usually employed some dimensions of SRL strategies such as physical and social environment in improving their writing ability.
