This study sought to investigate the effect of standards based reflective teaching on EFL teachers' performance in Bisha, K.S.A. The study sample comprised forty five EFL teachers in Bisha and Eltathleeth, who were randomly assigned either to the control group (N = 15), the individual reflection group (N = 15) or the peer reflection group. The three groups were pre-tested using a standards- based observation checklist prepared by the researcher. Then, the two experimental groups (the individual reflection group and the peer reflection group) adopted the reflective approach on teaching their courses whereas the control group practiced teaching without reflection. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested. At the end of the experiment, the three groups were post-tested. A t-test for dependent samples and Scheffe test were used for the statistical analysis of the collected data. Results showed that the standards - based reflective teaching was effective in enhancing EFL teachers performance. It was also revealed that, compared to individual reflection, peer reflection was more profitable to EFL teachers. These results substantiate the importance of adopting standards-based reflective teaching in EFL classrooms.
