en The relationship between EFL students' anxiety coping strategies and their language learning anxiety as mediated by self-efficacy beliefs تخصصي Special پژوهشي Research <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:200%"><span><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">The study aimed to examine the mediating role of self-efficacy beliefs in the relationship between coping strategies and language learning anxiety using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). A total of 783 language learners participated in this research and completed Coping with Language Anxiety Scale, Foreign Language Anxiety Scale, and Self-Efficacy Belief Scale. The data were analyzed using SEM to test the hypothesized mediation model. Results indicated that coping strategies were negatively associated with language learning anxiety. Furthermore, self-efficacy beliefs partially mediated the relationship between coping strategies and language learning anxiety. Specifically, higher levels of self-efficacy were found to enhance the negative effect of coping strategies on language learning anxiety. These findings highlight the importance of promoting coping strategies and self-efficacy in language learning contexts to reduce anxiety. The implication of these findings for language learners, educators, and researchers are discussed, along with suggestions for future research in this area.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:200%"><span style="tab-stops:396.9pt 418.2pt"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">The study aimed to examine the mediating role of self-efficacy beliefs in the relationship between coping strategies and language learning anxiety using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
