This paper explores the preference students have for classroom activities and the frequency in which teachers include certain classroom activities in their practicum. The study followed a quantitative research methodology by collecting numerical data through a 62-item questionnaire developed from a pool of items gathered from different questionnaires. Analysis indicates a coefficient of reliability of α = .91; data were analyzed with SPSS software. Twenty English language teachers and 263 students of a language school were included in the study. Students' levels ranged from 1 to 6, the 6th the equivalent to B1 of the Common European Framework (CEF). Results indicated a mismatch between teachers' frequently used activities and students' preference of activities; however, there is a match in speaking activities.
