    Purpose: This mixed-methods study aims to find the characteristics of Chinese EFL teachers’
    beliefs of reading and teaching reading. In addition, it aims to investigate the relationship
    between English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ stated beliefs and their actual practices.
    Method
    Subjects in the study included 20 university EFL teachers who were faculty
    members from three different universities in Loja. An established
    rapport and initial contact with deans and professors at the selected universities helped
    me identify the potential participants.
    For the second, qualitative part, classroom observations are going to be collected data on
    teachers’ actual practices.
    Research questions
    1. What are the characteristics of the Ecuadorian EFL teachers’ beliefs about
    English reading and reading instruction?
    2. Are the Ecuadorian EFL teachers’ stated beliefs about English reading
    consistently indicated in their stated beliefs about teaching reading?
