Abstract
In the course of learning, students develop complex networks of mental schemata which influence how they perceive their learning. It is therefore important to explore their perceptions and preferences, as a prerequisite to understanding their needs and providing an appropriate learning environment. This paper reports on the findings of a survey of "Young Post" readers' English learning experiences and perceptions. Pedagogical implications are then drawn in light of these findings with the aim to arouse upper secondary school English teachers' interest in the assumptions, knowledge and experience that students bring to their learning and how these may impact on teaching practice.
