Abstract

This study attempts to explore the non-English major college EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices at three universities by quantitative and qualitative approaches. Through one and a half months’ data collection, this study found that all of the participants were able to articulate their own teaching beliefs though, their teaching practices were not a hundred percent consistent with their professed beliefs due to some contextual factors. Thus, this study hopes to arouse colleges’ attention on teachers’ beliefs and to help college teachers realize the significance of teachers’ beliefs to their teaching and professional development.
