THE ROLE OF TEACHER EFFICACY OVER ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

The main purpose of this study is to examine
teacher efficacy levels of English language
teachers who work in secondary schools. Also,
teachers’ self -reported English proficiency
level and use of pedagogical strategies were
investigated. Based on a quantitative study, the
data were collected through three different
questionnaires from 28 English language
teachers. Results showed that teacher efficacy
has an impact on teaching English. The data
indicated that teachers’ beliefs in their ability
were correlated with their self-reported English
proficiency. It was found that most of the
teachers use communicatively oriented
instructional strategies in the classroom. This
study provides necessary and useful
information to understand teachers’ needs to
develop their efficacy.
