With the hope that research into learner beliefs will enrich our understanding of how learners actually approach and discover a new language, this paper aims to find out what Spanish learners actually believe and expect from their English classes, whether or not they are satisfied with the progress made and the English education received so far.The results suggest that the beliefs learners hold about EFL learning are largely induced by their past classroom learning experiences.Additionally, this study found evidence of unsatisfied learning expectations which may have a negative effect on classroom instruction and, thus, ultimate learning outcomes.
