abstract = {This was an exploratory action research study that implemented a qualitative method
approach. This study aimed to determine to what extent self-efficacy strategies could increase 
motivation for speaking English as most students were reluctant to participate using this 
language in class. The strategies implemented were based on the self-efficacy theory and it was 
designed considering students’ language needs, feelings, and opinions. Data was collected using 
surveys, journals, questionnaires, and interviews, and it was analysed using grounded theory. 
The results confirm that participants increased their motivation for speaking English as they felt 
more capable of performing certain oral production tasks becoming more aware of their skills, 
and changed their feelings towards speaking English in class as activities implemented made 
them feel more confident and supported. Finally, this research not only meant to be a new path to 
help students participate in class speaking English, but also to give ESL teachers a model they 
can implement to increase motivation, participation, and positive feelings towards English
learning in their young learners.},
