Özet:
The present study aimed to explore EFL teachers’ beliefs regarding reading
strategies. In order to identify teachers’ beliefs on reading strategies, a questionnaire and
semi-structured interviews were used. The study was carried out with 50 participants
working at English preparatory school of Istanbul Aydın University. The obtained data
was analyzed by utilizing both qualitative and quantitative analysis to investigate
whether there is a relationship between teachers’ use of strategies and such variables as
gender, degree,….etc.
The results of the study revealed that there aren’t any statistical relationships
between the teachers’ gender, degree,years of teaching reading and the strategies they
use in the classroom.On the other hand,there is a statistical relationship between the
teachers’ experiences in teaching and the pre-reading strategies they use.
