The purpose of this study was to describe the process of developing and validating a questionnaire designed to assess the EFL teachers’ awareness of ELT materials. To this end, the 34-item EFL Teachers’ Material Adaptation Awareness Questionnaire was distributed among a relatively large sample (N = 532) of EFL teachers. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha formula run through SPSS 26 and it turned out to be 0.677. The results of the 532 completed questionnaires were subjected to exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to identify the basic structure of the questionnaires and confirm the validity of the data. The results of an exploratory factor analysis revealed twelve factors (materials, essential points, inputs, experiences, learners, impossible points, teachers, accessibility, benefits, impressionistic, tasks, and plans) that underlie the EFL teachers' material adaptation awareness. The EFA significance score was 0.000, confirming the validity of this questionnaire. The questionnaire shows a good factor structure, reliability, and validity.
