Teachers’ beliefs have been a fascinating topic for researchers for the amount
of input they can provide for reflection and the improvement of the teaching and learning of
English. This case study aims at identifying the beliefs held by a group of sixteen Chilean
EFL teachers who work in public secondary education. A semi-structured interview and a
Likert type survey are used to collect data from the participants. Semantic content analysis
and the Atlasti qualitative software are used to transcribe, code, and segment data to then establish
seven categories and six subcategories that depict what participants believe regarding
English teaching and learning
