The present study is designed to investigate Cycle Two EFL teachers' perceptions of active learning and their classroom practices, drawing conclusions on the important and correlative link between them. Three instruments were used to answer the research questions: a questionnaire, an observation checklist and a semi-structured interview The population of the study covers Cycle Two EFL teachers from Batinah- North Governorate for the academic year 2017/2018. The sample of the questionnaire consists of 30 of the total EFL teachers in Batinah North (170: 59 male teachers and 111 female teachers) The sample of the observation consists of 18 teachers. Analysis of teachers' responses and their classroom practices indicates a mismatch between teachers' perceptions and their practices of some fundamental aspects of active learning such as teacher role, student role and active learning cycle. This mismatch influences the actual efficiency of classroom practices The study suggests further awareness, training and knowledge expansion in relation to active learning among teachers It brings all educational environment stakeholders into the scene, suggesting role distribution that involve all in a spirit of partnership and collaboration.
