Unfortunately, we are not always able to provide the correct guidance. Not because we are not prepared, or we do not know how to teach; perhaps. There are not many studies based on students’ needs. It does not matter if they are in public or private schools, EFL teachers must take into account their ideas and needs. Thus, this research aims to identify factors that increase or limit Private and Public Secondary School participants’ EFL learning by taking into account students’ perceptions. To be able to obtain this information, it was necessary to create and apply a survey as the research instrument. Main findings point that the lack of EFL courses around their town is a negative factor that affects their EFL learning. Also, participants from the public institution mentioned that they do not have as many hours of EFL subject as private students do; thus, this is making a huge negative impact in their learning process. Regarding the positive factors, minority of participants mentioned that studying is the only thing that can enhance their EFL learning process”.pdfengHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTAInglés--Estudio y enseñanza (Secundaria)--Hablantes extranjerosAdquisición de segunda lengua--Estudio de casosEducación comparada--Estudio de casosEstudiantes--ActitudesAutopercepción--InvestigaciónTesis de licenciaturaopenAccess
