Abstract
This study was conducted at an English Language BA program of a public university during 2019, aimed at identifying students’ perceptions about their learning environment. A common thread in research in student learning refers to the ways in which students go about learning. A theory of learning that accentuates the interaction between the person and the situation is presented. An adaptation of the Course Experience Questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used as instruments to gather the information about the students’ perceptions of their learning environment. The participants were students taking the Upper Intermediate English special course at the BA program. The findings present the role of the teacher as an important part inside the learning environment. Finally, conclusions about these findings are described at the end of this paper where some possible issues for action are proposed.
