Abstract EN

Developing English as a foreign language (EFL) prospective teachers' teaching skills is essential for qualifying them for their future careers.

A training program based on Self-Regulated Strategy Development approach was designed for developing EFL student teachers' teaching and writing performance.

The program comprised mainly two sections, theoretical and practical.

Two main writing genres were considered, Persuasive essay and story writing.

A pre-post observation checklist and a writing test were administered to twenty one second-year EFL student teachers at Women's College -Ain Shams University.

Results of the study indicated that the proposed program is effective in developing the study participants' teaching and writing performance.

The study results supported the study hypotheses.

Recommendations and suggestions for further research were presented.
