By means of interviews, drawings, and focus groups with 30 students, four beliefs were established. It was found that students’ beliefs are attached to the experiences they have lived in their English class; the discipline, the monotony, the lack of interesting material, and the impact of foreign language learning are the main related aspects. Implications and recommendations for further research are proposed based on the necessity of giving students a voice in the development of current national policies of language learning and also in the debate about the effectiveness of these policies and their impact inside schools. 2016 artículo científico 1657-0790 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=169246288010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169246288010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169246288010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169246288010/169246288010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169246288010/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1692 Profile: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Profile: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.18
