Content of review 1, reviewed on June 01, 2021

In general, I have only a few comments and suggestions to the authors: Title No comment Abstract It includes the required data such as the methodology applied and general findings. However, the language used in the abstract can be improved such as paraphrasing some information and using conjunctions. The references are listed according to APA style and most of them are directly relevant to the study. Introduction and Literature Review

the writers of the paper presented sufficient background information regarding research studies in this field, they also stated the three research questions clearly. however, one of the questions in fact has not been appropriately stated as the researchers need to elicit teachers perception but they, instead wrote evaluate which makes some conflict in research objective. in addition, there are some significant mistakes in punctuation that need to be carefully corrected. Here are some of the mistakes 1- the third peragraph in the introduction, remove the word about. 2- edit the unindented paragraphs throughout all the Literature Review section. Methodology The methodology adopted in the above study is clearly stated and justified. The study is quantitative in nature as it utilizes a self administrated questionnaire to collect the data from all the teachers in the university which goes under an opportunity sampling even though it is not mentioned in the methodology section.Each variable was measured based on questions in the questionnaire to come up with answers to the research queries. The objectives and the methodology of the study are constant besides it provides adequate details that can be replicated independently.In addition, the study instruments are valid. However, the study reliability is questioned because measuring teachers perceptions should be achieved by utilizing qualitative instrument such as an interview, as I recommend, and hence, could provide very different and significant data. Results The results section displays the results using pie and bar charts and tables in relevant and appropriate way. I also assure that the variables categorization and their measurements are calculated accordingly. With regards to the written explanations of the graphics, I see that they are quite informative but to some extent is neutral in a way the reader won’t possibly mark the significance in the result readings. Nonetheless, there are some remarks I need to point them out: 1- In the statements 4,5 and 7, the tables are unnecessary as we can combine all the information in just the bar chart that is already provided. 2- Since the study is quantitative, why hasn’t it been analyzed by a software data analysis program instead of ordinary calculation as it is mentioned? 3- The lines or the titles left at the bottom of some pages such as figure 3,5,11 as well as statement 6 should be attached with their paragraphs. Discussion The first paragraph of your discussion session is well stated and brings the significance of the study. However, vital information has not been stated in the subsequent paragraphs 1- You did not mention any limitation! One limitation is that Saudi context significantly affect the use of different teaching methodologies. 2- You can also inspire us with any work for further research. 3- Your work, as an expansion of the previous research is necessary to include.
