This study examines EFL teachers’ perceptions of grammar teaching, their preferred instructional strategies, and the challenges they face in classroom practice. The findings reveal that teachers' perceptions are shaped by their conceptual knowledge and practical experiences. A mix of explicit and implicit grammar teaching strategies is commonly employed, with contextualized exercises and peer correction being the most frequent. However, challenges such as accommodating diverse learning styles and limited teaching resources persist, underscoring the need for improved teacher training and access to resources.
