The present study investigated the role of male and female EFL learners’ reflection, autonomy, grit, and Foreign Language Engagement (FLE) in the prediction of their Emotional Beliefs (EBs) in their Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) courses. In addition, it strived to determine the difference between male and female learners’ EBs. Accordingly, first, the researchers used convenience sampling to select 109 male and 125 female intermediate-level EFL learners at a language institute in Urmia (Iran) as the participants based on their results on a proficiency test. Second, they used Google Forms to administer the EB, reflection, autonomy, grit, and FLE questionnaires of the study to the participants in a five-week period. Third, the researchers used SPSS 25 to perform the statistical data analysis of the study and to answer the raised research questions. The results showed that male learners’ reflection and grit and female learners’ autonomy and FLE were the main factors in their EBs. Moreover, based on the results, female learners’ EBs were more satisfactory than that of male learners in their CALL courses. The results are likely to provide EFL teacher education course-developer, syllabus designers, and teachers with guidelines on the management of learners’ EBs in CALL courses.
