Abstract
The present work deals with the exploration of self-regulated learning in first-year classes
in the Department of English at Mouloud Mammeri University of Tizi-ouzou. It has two main
purposes. First, it explores the strategies that are used by teachers of first-year classes to help
the students be self-regulated learners. Second, it investigates the extent to what first-year
students are self-regulated learners. To conduct this study, the work relied on Zimmerman’s
theory of self-regulation involving developing four learning skills such as time planning and
management skills, text comprehension skills, classroom note-taking skills, and writing skills.
The work has adopted a questionnaire addressed to teachers of first-year classes, and a
classroom observation. The results show that teachers of first-year classes use some
strategies of self-regulation to help the students be self-regulated learners to develop the four
learning skills. The results also show that first-year students need to be motivated.
