The author made a study of the teachers＇ beliefs of several high school English teachers and some seniors majoring in English by means of questionnaire, interview and classroom teaching observance. The findings demonstrate that little difference is found out between the teachers and the seniors concerning the quintessence of the English language and the source of the teachers＇ beliefs. However, they hold totally different beliefs in English language learning and classroom management. In these two respects, the beliefs held by the teachers are superior, while those held by the seniors are inferior. The seniors hold more reasonable beliefs in terms of the roles as the teacher or as the student, as well as in such aspects as curriculum, teaching and evaluation, while the teachers＇ beliefs are less reasonable than theirs in terms of the roles or in these regards.
