Abstract
The study has aimed at observing English teaching in practice and has attempted to see whether teaching practice is in congruence with teachers’ claims to teaching according to CLT. In pursuit of fulfilling the aims of the study, the ideas of 17 EFL teachers, all of which were selected from private language institutes in Tehran, were measured through an attitude questionnaire. In addition, 16 EFL classes were observed to measure the state of the practice of language teaching and learning in the classrooms against the principles of CLT. The findings revealed that although teachers held a positive claim towards practicing CLT, the state of the practice of language teaching and learning was not in favor of the premises of CLT.
