Introduction to the Study

Introduction
Nowadays, teaching English as a foreign language has become a quite complex task that entails many challenges and difficulties along the path towards achieving language learning goals and objectives. Time management is strongly considered as one of the most challenging concerns for teachers who often feel overwhelmed in their attempts to promote effective language instruction and cover a large content of lessons and activities into the allotted time frame. Many secondary school teachers find it difficult to manage their instructional time in a manner that allows them to meet their students‟ levels, needs, and learning styles. Therefore, teachers need to develop effective time management skills and strategies to maximize students‟ engagement in the learning process and help them to reach the intended learning objectives as productively as possible.
The current research is carried out in order to investigate EFL teachers’ time management issues during instruction and explore possible solutions and strategies that can help them ensure maximum use of time to improve students‟ learning outcomes. To achieve this objective, 1st year secondary school classes are selected as an action research.
To carry out this research, the descriptive methodology is adopted using a pair of research tools to collect quantitative and qualitative data; a formal questionnaire addressed to fourth secondary school EFL teachers, and observation and field note carried out with 1st year secondary school classes to get a deeper insight into teachers‟ time management skills during instruction.
Statement of the Problem
The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers’ time management issues within 1st year secondary school classrooms, data are basically generated through the use of teachers’ questionnaires, classroom observation and field notes.
