  ABSTRACT: Different from traditional research in related topic which focuses on the relation between teacher’s epistemological beliefs and conceptions about teaching and learning, and teaching motivation, self-efficacy and so on, this article aims at finding out whether Chinese EFL teachers and learners share similar beliefs or conceptions about language teaching and learning. The same questionnaire made by Chan and Elliott (2004) is applied and Excel and SPSS are employed in statistics. The results of the survey show that teachers and learners in Chinese foreign language class share similar conceptions about language teaching and learning, but the degree they agree with constructivist conceptions is very significantly different with the student being more convinced of constructivist perspectives. The results are discussed and the implications of the survey are suggested.
