Abstract: When people learn a language, their beliefs can influence the way they study.For example, misconceptions about language learning might hinder a learner's choice of strategies, which could further affect their progress and motivation to learn.This research explores the beliefs and practices of good language learners.It is carried out within an interpretive research paradigm, using qualitative methods and related instruments like open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect data.A sample of four Japanese students who were engaged in further language study in the UK, and who are regarded as good language learners, were interviewed about their beliefs and practices related to learning a language.This study discusses the results that have been generated from interview data of competent language learners.The beliefs and practices of good language learners will provide some insights which could contribute to understanding why successful learners progress more rapidly than other learners, which, in turn, might offer deeper insights about how to help students improve their learning of a language. 外国語学習成功者の beliefs と勉強法
