The concept of teacher self-efficacy is a multifaceted construct which assumes a principal role in teachers’ personal judgements of their capabilities for accomplishing prescribed tasks. The traces of the development of the self-efficacy concept of teachers’ can be traced in the pre-service education periods and how they evaluated the quality of that education. The present paper concentrates on examining the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service teachers of English Language teaching. The participants of the study were 34 pre-service teachers studying at the English Language Teaching Department of a large public university in Turkey.
