This research aims to investigate the university EFL teachers’ awareness of the importance of reflective teaching and its necessity for professional development. It also aims to find out whether these teachers can reflect on their educational practices and change their beliefs and assumptions. In addition, it seeks to figure out what investigation procedures teachers can use to reflect on their practices. Data for the study were collected through a questionnaire distributed to fourteen (14) EFL teachers and a structured interview with a specialized teacher in ‘Teacher Education Development’ (TED) at Tlemcen University. The findings revealed that university EFL teachers are aware of the importance of reflective teaching as it invites them to the continuous practice of their intellect, responsibility, and professionalism. Moreover, reflective teaching enables teachers to make appropriate instructional decisions by implementing several investigative procedures. Finally, it helps EFL teachers to become more aware of their actions, more skilled, and better informed about their teaching practices. This work emphasizes the value and necessity of reflective teaching for professional development.
