Abstract:

 This study was conducted to investigate the effect of studying second language research courses on the beliefs of applied linguistics graduate students. Participants of this study are twenty full time M.A students in the field of Applied linguistics enrolled in the Libyan Academy of Graduate studies in Tripoli, Libya. At the time of the study, all have already taken at least a course on second language research. Research tools employed to elicit date were questionnaires and interviews. Responses showed significant changes in beliefs in several areas of language acquisition and learning. Some of these belief changes are the appropriate age for learning a second language, the importance of grammar teaching, and the effectiveness of communicative approach in foreign language classrooms. In semi-structured interviews, participants compared their beliefs concerning these issues before and after the course was taken. The findings, which illustrated how these participants beliefs develop within the perspective of a professional applied linguistic course give practical implications for course design and evaluation in teacher language education programs.
