| Sumario: | This study explores English as a Foreign Language teachers' theoretical orientations/practices towards reading instruction in terms of their self-efficacy. Participants were 120 English as a Foreign Language teachers in Iran. Teachers’ Orientation to Reading Instruction (TORI) questionnaire was employed to measure teachers' beliefs about reading instruction. In addition, teachers' self-efficacy questionnaire was administered to examine teachers' self-efficacy in teaching reading. A series of Kruskal Wallis and Chi-Square tests were run to analyze the data. Data revealed that English as a Foreign Language teachers' beliefs towards teaching reading imposed a significant effect on teaching reading and this effect was negative. Also, results demonstrated that teachers' self-efficacy toward teaching reading comprehension made a negative significant effect on teaching process by teachers. In addition, with respect to teachers' practices, this study confirmed that teachers' beliefs about reading instruction and their instructional practices are inconsistent. |
