Achieving Student Self-Efficacy by Homeroom Teachers within Japanese Elementary EFL Classrooms : A Research Proposal

Homeroom teachers (HRTs) are a vital part of the classroom learning in elementary schools. The ability to comprehend whether an individual believes that he or she can achieve a goal, called self-efficacy, is at the center of the questions that make up this investigation. HRTs expertise in the ability to achieve student self-efficacy should not go unnoticed, despite the 2020 MEXT reform of the English as a foreign language (EFL). It is important to gain a full understanding of the impact that HRTs have on students as they learn English in their formative years, and what role they can play in the future of EFL education at the elementary school level. This research proposal hopes to identify the positive impact that HRTs contribute to the learning of EFL in the context of elementary schools.
