摘要

Goalsetting,as one of the most important meta-cognitive strategies in learning,has gained considerable attention(Bruce,2011).A number of studies have focused on the positive effect of goal setting in sustaining motivation,promoting self-efficacy and fostering autonomy.However,few research seems to examine the factors that influence second language learners’goal setting.The current study aims to address this gap by investigating the goal setting processes of two postgraduate learners at Tianjin Foreign Studies Universities.Interviews were triangulated to obtain a deep understanding.Findings revealed that motivation,self-efficacy,learning strategy,time management can all have influences on the language learners’goal-setting.
