Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing students’ learning outcomes in English courses at the Academy of Journalism and Communication. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative methods with data obtained from 192 valid responses. The reliability of the measurement scales was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, while exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to validate their underlying structure. Multiple linear regression analysis was subsequently performed to determine the effects of the independent variables on students’ learning outcomes. The findings indicate that learning motivation, learning methods, facilities, and family and social factors have positive and statistically significant effects on learning outcomes, with learning motivation exerting the strongest influence. By contrast, lecturers’ teaching methods have no statistically significant effect. The research model explains 56% of the variance in students’ learning outcomes, demonstrating relatively strong explanatory power and an acceptable model fit.
