The purpose of this study is to look into the effects of student-generated questions on college students’ academic achievement and academic efficacy. For this study, thirty college students were chosen as the participants. They were asked to generate questions through their e-campus learning management system every other week and to do group-generated question activities in class over 16 weeks. The data was collected from pre-and post-TOEIC tests, and academic efficacy questionnaires. The following results have been obtained. First, this study showed that there was significant improvement in students’ academic achievement based on the TOEIC scores. Second, there were meaningful changes in academic efficacy as shown in the questionnaires. Student-generated questions have played a great role in raising students’ self-confidence, task difficulty preferences and self-regulatory efficacy toward academy. Several suggestions for follow-up studies are presented based on the findings of this study.
