    El presente estudio reevalúa la validez de constructo y la fiabilidad del cuestionario ‘Características de los profesores de enseñanza del Inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) exitosos’. En el estudio participaron 814 sujetos. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando análisis factorial exploratorio (EFA) y confirmatorios (CFA). Los resultados mostraron que todos los ítems presentaron saturaciones más altas en los factores a los que pertenecían excepto en dos que presentaron saturaciones similares en tres factores simultáneamente, por lo que fueron suprimidos. El análisis factorial presenta, por tanto siete factores entre los que se distribuyen 45 ítems. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio se ajusta a esta estructura factorial. El estudio de la fiabilidad llevado a cabo ofrece resultados satisfactorios.

    The present study re-evaluated the construct validity and reliability of the ‘Characteristics of Successful EFL Teachers’ questionnaire. A total of 814 EFL learners participated in the study. The data were analysed, using exploratory factor analyses (EFA), confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), and reliability analyses. The findings demonstrated all items were loaded on the factors with the relevant content except for two which were loaded on three factors with almost similar loadings. Consequently, they were omitted. Accordingly, factor analysis resulted in seven main factors with 45 items. CFA findings verified the obtained factorial structure. Reliability analyses also provided satisfactory results.
