The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of the teachers' sense of plausibility on their classroom practices. The participants were 42 male and female high school English teachers and some of their students. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a 60-item teacher's sense of plausibility questionnaire was administered to the teachers and a 29 item questionnaire was administered to their students to determine the effect of the teacher's sense of plausibility on the classroom performances. The analysis of data was done through Pearson Correlation and the parametric independent t-test analyses. The findings indicated that there is a close relationship between the teacher's sense of plausibility and his/her teaching performances. With respect to these findings, it could be concluded that the students whose teachers had a higher sense of plausibility had better language performances than those students whose teachers had a lower sense of plausibility which is worth considering.
