Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This is a well-written paper. I have minor points for the authors.

 

1.  Please add the theoretical support to the four principles (e.g. motivation)in SRL development.

2.  It’s not very common to give a special training on SRL in high school classroom teaching, thus, the participants may not be representative. I suggest the current study should present more details about the students who lack SDL skills

3.  Please do a careful copyediting.
