Abstract
Self-efficacy is one of the most important factors to consider during instruction. It is a crucial element to predict learners' behaviours and their academic success. The purpose of this study is to investigate EFL teachers' attitudes and techniques to develop learners' self-efficacy in Assalas private School of Tizi-Ouzou. This study was mainly based on Self-efficacy theory. The mixed-method was adopted to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. In this regard, two main tools were used; a questionnaire administered to ten (10) teachers, and an interview conducted with six (6) of them. The results were then analysed using the descriptive statistical method and Microsoft excel program for the quantitative findings and content analysis for the qualitative data. The main findings of the teachers' questionnaire and interviews demonstrated that 100 % of Assalas EFL teachers perceive Self-efficacy as a necessary element that should be developed during instruction.80% of them believe that the development of learners' Self-efficacy is among their responsibilities. As to attitudes they display to develop learners' Self-efficacy, the results manifested that the respondents show positive attitudes.Concerning the techniques to strengthen students' Self-efficacy, the participants use several techniques advanced by scholars such as Feedback, goal setting, and modelling. This study answered the questions regarding the attitudes and the techniques used by teachers to develop EFL learners' self-efficacy in Ecole Assalas private school of Tizi-Ouzou.
