Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is a current approach to teaching English that has attracted much research in recent decades. Though numerous studies on the TBLT have taken place in Indonesian in recent years, a minimal number have mainly addressed teacher beliefs and practice in TBLT in English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore this study aimed at investigating teachers' beliefs in English language classes with the practice of TBLT. The study employed a quantitative approach. Self-reported questionnaires gathered the study's results from thirteen English teachers from five Islamic Junior High Schools in Demak district, Indonesia. The data were organized, tabulated, and analyzed by the descriptive-analytical method. The findings suggest that the teachers held strong beliefs about the use of TBLT. Teachers' beliefs are generally reflected in their classroom practices. They became more aware of the significance and impact of their beliefs on their classroom practices. Future study implications have also been discussed.
