Abstract

This research is to test attribution disagreements between students and teachers in classes in China under the theoretical framework of attribution bias. The teacher-student dyad analysis proves to be a more reliable way to test attribution bias when the number of teacher samples fails to match that of student. It is revealed that disagreements between students and teachers concerning outcome evaluation, causal perception, and future expectancy do exist in foreign language teaching and learning, which provides valuable suggestions on the enhancement of students’ performance in foreign language acquisition.
