Abstract :
The psychological, social, and academic growth of students is crucial to a society's human capital and future development. Unfortunately, learning and mental health challenges can diminish a learner's productivity and creativity, sometimes leading to dropout and wider societal problems. Iranian students of English face significant stress due to poorly resourced classrooms and limited chances for genuine language practice. Therefore, identifying the factors that affect the academic success and psychological well-being of Iranian EFL students is critically important. Given the profound influence of psychological factors on academic performance, this article examines how academic resilience, which determines a student's capacity to confront challenges, affects the self-efficacy beliefs of Iranian university students learning English as a foreign language. This study is a literature review based on a comprehensive search of databases, including Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Wiley, and ISC. Using keywords related to self-efficacy, academic resilience, and EFL learners, we identified 90 English and Persian sources published between 1986 and 2024. After reviewing this content, 51 of the most relevant articles were selected for inclusion in this paper.
