Abstract

type:text

Research on learners’ beliefs has attracted researchers since the 1980’s. Horwitz developed an survey instrument called BALLI (The Beliefs About Language Learning Inventor y) in 1987 to investigate learners’ beliefs on language learning. This instrument has been used by many researchers to assess learners’ beliefs. Learners’ beliefs are said to af fect lear ners’ choice of language strategies and motivation(Horwitz, 1987,1988; Wenden, 1987; Yang, 1999). It is essential for teachers to understand students’ current beliefs on language learning to foster students’ autonomy toward language learning. Also according to Horwitz, understanding students’ beliefs on language learning and choosing appropriate approaches by teachers can lead students to successful language acquisition. This paper reports on a study of beliefs held by one hundred and ten university students. The BALLI was used to collect data, which was fi rst analyzed by the criteria set by Horwitz and was later investigated how their beliefs relate to the expectationstoward university English curriculum by factor analysis.
