| Abstract (English): |
Self‐regulated learning (SRL) as a key predictor of language learning has been widely studied, but few studies have examined it from a cross‐linguistic perspective. The present study investigated whether first language (L1) SRL strategy use transfers to second language (L2) SRL strategy use and the conditions under which this transfer occurs, focusing on the moderating role of L2 motivation and exposure. The sample included 640 Chinese‐native‐speaking children from two Chinese‐English bilingual primary schools in mainland China. Using latent moderated structural equation modeling (LMS) analysis, we found significant positive transfer of SRL strategy use from the L1 to the L2. Besides, L2 motivation enhanced the transfer, while L2 exposure did not show a significant moderating effect. These findings extend the linguistic interdependence hypothesis to SRL strategy use and contribute to understanding the conditions for cross‐linguistic transfer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

摘要: 自我调节学习作为语言学习的关键预测因素已被广泛研究, 但从跨语言视角对其进行探讨的研究较少。本研究旨在探讨母语自我调节学习策略的使用是否会迁移至第二语言自我调节学习策略使用上, 以及在何种条件下这种迁移会发生——重点考察第二语言学习动机和语言接触在其中的调节作用。本研究以中国大陆两所中英双语小学的640名以中文为母语的小学生为样本, 采用潜变量调节结构方程模型分析法。结果显示, 母语自我调节学习策略的使用对第二语言自我学习调节策略使用具有显著的正向迁移作用。此外, 第二语言学习动机增强了这种迁移, 而第二语言接触未表现出显著的调节作用。这些研究结果将语言相互依赖假说扩展至自我学习策略使用领域, 并有助于理解跨语言迁移的条件。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
