本研究的目的是调查伊朗英语教师的教学风格和他们在课堂上最常用的活动。此外，本研究还探讨了男女教师教学风格的差异以及教学风格与教师经验和年龄的关系。从首都德黑兰的六个区分层随机抽取了300名英语教师。他们填写了个人信息调查表和教学活动偏好（TAP）调查表。研究结果表明，参与者在英语课堂上使用了多种教学活动，但由于使用感知型活动的比例较高，他们构成了一个特殊的群体。此外，研究还发现，男女教师在外向型、感知型和情感型教学风格上存在差异，而女教师比男教师更多地使用与这些风格相关的活动。此外，研究结果还发现，外语教师的年龄和经验与感知风格呈负相关，与教学思维风格呈正相关。
The aim of this study was investigating Iranian EFL teachers’ teaching styles and the activities they use most frequently in their classes. Additionally, the difference between male and female teachers’ teaching styles and the relationship between teaching styles and teachers’ experience and age were explored. Three hundred EFL teachers were selected by stratified random sampling from six districts of the capital city, Tehran. They filled in a personal information questionnaire and Teaching Activities Preference (TAP) questionnaire. The results of the study showed that the participants used a variety of teaching activities in English classes; however, they constituted a special group due to the high percentage of using sensing type activities. Further, it was found that male and female teachers were different in extroverting, sensing, and feeling styles of teaching while female teachers used activities related to these styles more than their male counterparts did. Besides, the obtained results revealed that EFL teachers’ age and experience had a negative relationship with sensing style and a positive relationship with thinking style of teaching.
