This article is about a study that attempts to explore the perceptions of young EFL learners regarding the qualities of an effective language teacher as the practitioner of all the theory underlying Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL). The purpose of the study was to specify the professional and personal profiles of teachers of young English language learners from the students’ perspectives. Based on this article, the result of the views of YLs related to teaching practices in the classroom will provide invaluable feedback for the administrators, teachers, materials writers, and especially teacher trainers and teacher training curriculum developers to revise and refine professional and personal profiles and competencies of current and future language teachers. One of the important result from this study is that YLs think-possibly expect- their teachers use games, songs, visuals and technology during their classroom practices.
