Exploring learners’ beliefs

Jungian approach to investigating students’ beliefs

Abstract

Employing a Jungian approach, this study aims to investigate what beliefs students reveal in drawings of themselves, their surrounding environments and mediating artifacts while they are engaged in language learning. To date, no study has applied a psychoanalytic approach to investigating learners’ beliefs. In this paper, how a Jungian approach can reveal students’ unconscious feelings and beliefs is discussed.
