Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the obstacles and challenges that may face EFL
teachers at middle and high schools. In other words, we are trying to show and highlight the
main EFL teachers’ challenges, and try to suggest some solutions to overcome them. In order
to achieve the above objective, we used the questionnaire as a tool to gather data. We
distributed the questionnaire to ten educators at different middle schools and a high school in
Khenchela. In this context, we have taken into consideration two main criteria: First of all,
teaching is limited to middle school teachers and high school. Also, teaching is limited to
English language. The data collected through the questionnaire were described, analyzed, and
then discussed. The results that we got show that all novice English language teachers face
various challenges and obstacles both inside and outside the classroom. Moreover, their
teaching weaknesses drive them to face many teaching difficulties. Thus, EFL teachers
should work hard and learn from their mistakes in order to overcome their teaching
challenges and reach success.
