Views of surveyed English language learners attending, or who had previously attended, EFL classes in Quality Leadership University, were analyzed in this study. A total of 150 students from the English program took part in the study. The researchers were interested in extracting perspectives on what students believed to be an effective English teacher. As previously mentioned, data was gathered via a survey. The survey contained a total of 13 questions, of which the last question had 45 prompts to respond to in a Likert-styled scale. Results of the survey were grouped into predetermined, categories of significance, analyzed and confirmed for congruency. The results revealed student’s affinity towards English language teachers who possessed key attributes. Our research, which has been corroborated by prior studies, establishes a point of reference and additional insight into the definition of an effective English language teacher.
