Recent studies on English teachers´ perceptions regarding training and professional development have allowed researchers to find useful tools that lead to reflection, professional development and a better teaching practice. The main objective of the present case study was to investigate, using a semi-structured interview, the perceptions of 19 English teachers with respect to two types of training; one teacher-centered; and the other was based on the Ministry of Education view. The results show that educators consider that training is significant when the context and reality of teachers are taken into account.
