Pujo N2 - In this ever-changing world, EFL teachers are in continuous challenge to provide the best education for their students. Changes in social structure, economy and technology give rise to new roles with new standards of competence. Therefore, continuous efforts for professional development are obligatory to ensure that teachers can perform their duties in line with the demand of their clients. Most teachers realize that they are not the only actors in EFL education. Students? parents may also play a big role in their children?s academic development by actively and routinely involving themselves in the process. When both school and home are supportive, students will be in correct atmosphere to maximize their potential in acquiring EFL. There are times, however, when school and parents are in different sides. Disagreement over teaching techniques, learning models, teaching materials, curriculum etc. may put teachers and parents in opposition which can be contra-productive to students? development. This paper discusses the problems that arise in the teachers-parents cooperation and the ways the two can work together for the sake of students? success. The data sources are EFL teachers and students parents to whom questionnaire and interview were given to obtain the data.
