Iraqi EFL Preparatory School Teachers’ Perception Regarding Teacher Competencies of Self-Directed Learning

Although self-directed learning is regarded as a skill of the 21st century and as a motivation for students in educational practice and theory, self-directed learning is considered to be challenging for most teachers to be integrated into their practice. Meanwhile, teachers are required to consider each student as a unique and distinguished individual. This means that students in every classroom have diverse talents and abilities to learn differently and are able to develop at a different level. Thus, Iraqi EFL preparatory school teachers must be informed of all ideas, concepts, and methods relating to English language learning
