Therefore we sought to (i) to explore and describe the Resource Management Strategies of third year pre-service EFL teachers; (ii) to explore the relationship between the Resource Management Strategies (iii) to explore the relationship between the gender variable and the Resource Management Strategies of third year pre-service EFL teachers.

What emerged from the data is that local culture has some important
