 note = {Previous analyses revealed that the students in an English program at a
bilingual university in Tokyo significantly improved their English proficiency
over their first year. Further statistical analyses such as structural equation
modeling, however, were unable to discover what factors contributed to the
improvement positively or negatively. Thus, to investigate what factors
contribute to the success of English learners in the English program, we asked
both successful and less successful students how they studied during the first
year of their university education in and out of class. The results showed that
successful and less successful learners employed no different learning
strategies, but two factors, English-speaking selves and test familiarity,
emerged as possible factors that might influence the improvement of their
English proficiency.},
