By providing quantitative data from the modified EFL version of Beliefs about Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) completed by the ELT undergraduate level students in one of the Turkish Universities, the survey was aimed to obtain generalizable conclusions about beliefs or notions about language learning of undergraduate level EFL students. The relationships among gender and years of education in the ELT department, as the impacting factors, and the participants‘ scores in the BALLI were statistically analyzed. The results were discussed in terms of the EFL students‘ the most important beliefs and the effect size of the gender and years of education as the variables on their beliefs about language learning.
