| Sumario: | This paper aims at presenting Middle and High School students’ beliefs on the Language Teaching Methodology at a bilingual private school in Barranquilla. In order to discuss these beliefs, there are topics such as the importance of teaching English in the world and the concept of beliefs, including its methodological approach. Moreover, an interviews format was performed in order to analyze the beliefs among the involved population. To identify and analyze these beliefs, questions to address metaphorical descriptions of the topic were given to help make these beliefs more evident. Results establish that students see the teacher as a guide and his/her methodology as a sculptor. Also, it was stated that most of the students’ beliefs vary because these are not always aimed at the guiding or leading teaching they see, but also at having an influence in the society by seeing the teaching role model. In addition, the interviews’ given results establish that those who come with a previous belief towards the teacher’s role experienced a switch of beliefs during their learning process, in either a positive or negative way. |
