Abstract

This article re-visits three studies that originally focused on beliefs about second language (L2) learning and
teaching held by student teachers. The studies have been conducted in the same educational context (that
is, at a Finnish university). The participants in the studies are majors or minors in English, Swedish, German,
etc., and they range from first-year students to fifth-year students about to graduate as qualified L2 teachers.
Data have been collected by a variety of means over the past few years (questionnaires, sentence-completion
tasks, drawings), and partly longitudinally. The pools of data (verbal and visual) will be re-analysed
from the perspective of identity construction and awareness of aspects of multilingualism and findings critically
re-evaluated.
