It makes educational researchers take more concern with a similar phenomenon which occurs in teaching learning process. Borg claims that ‘teachers’ mental lives play a role in their instructional practices’. This qualitative research reports a case study of teacher’s beliefs in grammar and her grammar teaching practice in SMA Negeri 5 Surakarta. The data were collected by in-depth interview with the teacher, in-depth interview with students, and passive classroom observation. The data were analyzed by qualitative data analysis proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994). The result of the research indicates that the teacher’s beliefs of grammar and teaching grammar influence her grammar teaching practices.
