| Abstract | An empirical study of first year students studying English at Eszterhazy Karoly College in Eger, Hungary, in 2004 is presented in this paper. The study aimed to investigate student beliefs about language learning. Student attitudes were examined at the start of their college studies and again at the end of their first semester after following a new language practice programme designed specifically to promote learner autonomy. The 2004 study presented here shows that students at the start of their studies seem more aware of learner autonomy principles than previously assumed. In addition, at the end of the first semester a small increase in some learner autonomy beliefs seem to be observable among the students. However, this paper only presents a preliminary inquiry into student beliefs at the college and more extensive research is necessary before more conclusive statements can be made. |
