Resumen:

El presente estudio examina la incidencia entre tres factores clave en la adquisición de lenguas adicionales: la motivación, la autoeficacia y las estrategias de aprendizaje, en aprendientes de español como lengua extranjera.

Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, correlaciones de Spearman, análisis de factores exploratorios y varias regresiones lineales para reconocer en profundidad la relación que mantienen la autoeficacia y la motivación, como variables independientes, en el uso de estrategias de aprendizaje. Los resultados revelaron correlaciones positivas y significativas entre las tres variables, aunque se observa un papel más relevante por parte de la motivación en el uso de estrategias...
