Abstract
This research is concerned with Critical Pedagogy and Paulo Freire's pedagogy in particular. It puts on display concepts as Problem-Posing Education, Banking System, conscientazation, dialogue, and praxis. The aim of this study is to investigate EFL teachers' and students' views and attitudes towards Paulo Freire's to see to what extent it is considered in current classes in Algeria. Accordingly, two questionnaires were submitted to EFL teachers and learners at Larbi Ben M'hidi University, Oum El Bouaghi. The sample consists of 31 students from different levels and 16 educators. The analysis of the obtained results revealed that both teachers and students have positive attitudes towards Paulo Freire's Pedagogy. In addition to that, it showed that this pedagogy is not adequately implemented in the Algerian EFL classes.
