This study investigates the relationship between epistemic beliefs and achievementamong groups of university students who learn English as a foreign language in Indonesia. It is hypothesized that the more sophisticated epistemic beliefs owned by the EFL students the higher their achievement. To test this hypothesis, the different levels of epistemic beliefs (simple, medium, sophisticated) are correlated with their reading scores using a paired-sample T-test. The levels of the EFL students’ epistemic beliefs are elicited from the Reading Epistemic Beliefs constructed by the researchers, and the reading scores are taken from the essays of their final projects. The research findings suggested that teachers’ teaching strategies, material developments, and assessment play important roles to affect the students’ epistemic beliefs level and reading achievement.
