bsp;of  English  self-efficacy  of non-English  major  ethnic  minority  college  students  is  significant  theoretically  and practically.  Theoretically,  even  though  domestic  studies  on  learners’  self-efficacy  develop quickly, most of the research subjects are Han nationality students. Little attention is paid to the general tendency of minority college learners’ English self-efficacy, so this research  expands  the  research  domain  of  English  learning  self-efficacy.  Besides,  it provides some theoretical evidence to examine the English learning self-efficacy for ethnic minority college students to further explore. Practically, under the situation that teachers  who  engage  in  teaching  English  to  minority  college  students  do  not  attach importance to students’ self-efficacy, this research is to make a deep analysis on the English  self-efficacy  of  minority  college  students,  which  helps  them  learn  students’ current English self-efficacy level and pay more attention to how to develop students’ English self-efficacy.

Chapter Two Literature Review 

2.1 Social Cognitive Theory 
Since self-efficacy theory is grounded in a larger theoretical framework known as  social  cognitive  theory,  it  is  necessary  to  make  an  introduction  on  it  first.  Albert Bandura,  American  cognitive  psychologist,  developed  a  social  cognitive  model  of behavior  in  1986  in  Social  Foundations  of  Thought  and  Action:  A  Social  Cognitive Theory, which developed from influence of self-system on individuals’ behavior. He proposed  that  individuals  possess  a  self-system  that  enables  them  to  exercise  a measure  of  control  over  their  thoughts,  motivations,  feelings  and  behaviors  through selecting  or  controlling  conditions  in  the  environment.  This  self-system  harbors individuals’  cognitive  and  affective  structures  and  offer  individuals  reference  to perceive, regulate and evaluate their behaviors, which is the interaction of self-system and environmental conditions (Bandura, 1986). According to social cognitive theory, individuals  can  self-regulate  their  behaviors  proactively  rather  than  are  passively controlled  by  biological  or  environmental  factors.  Their  action  is  mediated  by self-referent  thought  through  knowledge  and  skills.  That  explains  why  individuals’ action is better predicted by their belief of their capability and skills, which is called self-efficacy  belief,  lying  at  the  very  core  of  social  cognitive  theory.
