The teachers’ early teaching expectations, English language learning/acquisition, attributes, challenges, passion, personality traits, the school environment, the education system and the ESL students were aspects of teachers’ beliefs that shaped their beliefs about teaching and learning in ESL classrooms. Three teachers from different years of experience were the main participants of this research as they possessed different personalities, beliefs and teaching styles that provided the depth and richness of the data collected.

In addition, as experiences are related to beliefs, in-service training programmes are important to increase teacher competency and classroom management techniques are effective to facilitate and enhance learning.
