Recent trends in teacher education have focused on exploring teachers’ beliefs. Earlier studies have shown the important influence of teachers’ beliefs on teaching practices. The present study was conducted to explore the beliefs of Iranian EFL teachers about the significance of teaching English reading strategies. This study explores the attitudes of Iranian EFL teachers toward explicit instruction of reading strategies. The results of this study show that Iranian teachers believe strongly in the importance of cognitive reading strategies and that they have insufficient knowledge of the importance of metacognitive reading strategies. The study ends with recommendations for training Iranian EFL teachers in some of the most effective metacognitive reading strategies to help students plan, monitor, evaluate, and regulate their learning.
