This study aimed to investigate the self-efficacy beliefs of a group of preservice teachers in an initial English language teacher education programme, where they were prepared and encouraged to promote pedagogy for autonomy. Data were gathered through questionnaires and focus group interviews. Findings indicate a relatively high sense of self-efficacy regarding the promotion of learner autonomy. Personal and contextual factors that enable or constrain those beliefs were identified, with implications for how initial teacher education programmes may foster preservice teachers’ readiness to value and enact learner-centred pedagogies.}, keywords = {English language education, initial teacher education, pedagogy for autonomy, self-efficacy beliefs}, title = {Preservice teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs for promoting learner autonomy in English language education}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v27n2.117405}, author = {Manzano Vázquez, Borja and Vieira, Flávia and Jiménez Raya, Manuel}, }
