This study compares two-year college students' beliefs about English learning with those of their teachers and with those of their peers at other departments.

Results were found to be significantly , affected by the type of analysis: global analyses of group means and percentages showed overall similarities between teachers' and students' as well as between students' pre- and posttest responses , while analyses of individuals revealed differences. The findings of the study suggest that teachers' beliefs are but one of many factors that affect students' beliefs about English learning and that multivariate research designs are needed to explore the complex interrelationships between learners' and teachers' belief systems.
