Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between EFL teachers, attitudes, teaching techniques and classroom type. To this end, 100 EFL teachers teaching in different contexts have been chosen, then a two-set questionnaire consisting of a five-point scale and Yes/No questions about large and small classes was distributed among them Also, a per-formed interview was done with twenty randomly selected teachers. Results indicate that teachers have different attitudes toward using and applying teaching techniques in different class sizes. The data analysis reveals that: 1) all the teachers tended to work and use more teaching techniques in small classes than large ones. 2) Comparing male and female teachers’ attitudes showed that female teachers tended to use more teaching techniques in their teaching, processes than their counter parts. 3) Professional and non- professional teachers’ attitudes were the same regarding using teaching techniques in both settings.
