Abstract/Summary:
The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the beliefs of a group of college students concerning the teaching-learning process and what occurs in the English language classroom---particularly in the INGL 3102 course. By means of action research, the researcher used conversations, reflexive diaries and participant observation in order to know the students' suggestions to improve both the way the INGL 3102 is offered and the English curriculum at UPR-Arecibo, and the implications of their beliefs in their performance in the teaching-learning process of the English language in order to adjust his teaching methodology in a way that would benefit his students' learning. After analyzing and discussing the findings of the study, the researcher was able to offer recommendations and developed his own grounded theory.
