Abstract
The
purpose
of the
study
was to
gain
insight
into the
beliefs
of
self-identified
successful
learners
of
Spanish
as a
foreign
language
at a
Canadian
university.
Data
collection
for the
case
study
relied
on the
Beliefs
About
Language
Learning
Inventory
or
BALLI
(Horwitz
,
1988)
in
combination
with an
online
discussion
and
individual
online
interviews.
Descriptive
profiles
of
individual
participants'
beliefs
as
well
as
cross-case
analysis
and
comparisons
with the
literature
highlighted
the
importance
of
beliefs
related
to
informal
opportunities
for
learning
in
authentic
contexts
such
as
through
interactions
with
native
speakers
and the
target
culture.
Implications
for
teaching
Spanish
include
providing
opportunities
for
authentic
language
practice
and
access
to the
target
culture.
Future
studies
might
compare
learning
French
and
Spanish
in
Canadian
contexts.
