AB This study investigates Swedish student teachers’ beliefs about seventeen commonly held views on languagelearning and language teaching. Their beliefs were surveyed by means of a questionnaire distributed before andafter the students had taken part in their first English methodology course. The answers given to eleven of thestatements are presented and discussed in this article. These statements were chosen for analysis because they aredirectly concerned with the teaching and learning of a second language (L2) in a classroom setting. The resultsshow that many of the beliefs displayed by the participating student teachers go against the results of previousresearch within the field of second language acquisition (SLA), but also that some beliefs had started to changeafter the completion of the methodology course. In some cases, however, a more explicit focus would be neededin methodology courses for student teachers to be more capable in their future profession.
