Özet
The present quantitative study aims to examine how university preparatory school
students‟ willingness to communicate in English levels in the classroom and their
perceptions of self-efficacy for English are related within Turkish context. It also
focused on different participant characteristics such as gender, university department,
university type, years of studying English, taking English courses, and experience
abroad. It was conducted with 252 students studying at one foundation and one state
university. Data were collected and analyzed using the scales Willingness to
Communicate in English and Self-Efficacy for English. The results were achieved
through descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and
Pearson correlation analysis. The findings revealed a positive correlation between
participants‟ willingness to communicate in English within the classroom and self efficacy perception of English. Furthermore, participants' willingness to communicate
and self-efficacy views for their reading and listening skills were found to be stronger
than their writing and speaking skills.
