<Abstract>The present study investigated Iranian English language quality through validating the model of criteria. More specifically, thestudy analyzed the most and the least important criteria for evaluating the English language quality of EFL learners. Also, thedifferences among males and females with regard to the English language quality were investigated. In doing so, a total numberof 100 English teachers of different levels of proficiency were chosen. The researchers-made questionnaire was distributedamong participants via Google. The process of analyzing the data obtained from the questionnaire was performed in two software,SPSS 21 and pls. In the quantitative part of descriptive statistics, numbers, percentages, central indicators, and dispersionindicators were used. In inferential statistics, a factor analysis test was done to confirm and validate the questionnaire andstructural equation model. Findings of the present study revealed the most important criteria for analyzing the EFL students'language quality which are individual characteristics, learning strategy, and learning dynamics. The results also indicated thateducational technology and content regulation as background conditions, are effective in assessing the English language qualityof Iranian learners. Moreover, no significant difference found among Iranian males and females with regard to the Englishlanguage quality. It should be noted that the implementation of this approach requires the necessary professional potentials andcompetencies.</Abstract>
