The global market is in desperate need of leaders who can surpass all cross-cultural barriers and embrace global citizenship. Employees are required to develop leadership and global citizenship skills so as to enhance their creativity, productivity and sustainability in the workplace. Against this backdrop, English Language Teaching (ELT) seems to be an essential means for empowering students' leadership and global citizenship skills so as to facilitate their holistic development. To investigate this issue, the current study adopted a quantitative research method using a close-ended questionnaire sent to 58 Moroccan ELT teachers. The data gathered was analyzed through the SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences) in the form of descriptive statistics in order to explore teachers' perceptions regarding the promotion of leadership and global citizenship in ELT and to suggest effective classroom practices to reach this purpose. The study at hand will contribute to expanding literature on employability skills development in ELT. Furthermore, the implications and recommendations proposed will guide ELT teachers in fostering leadership and global citizenship among English learners.
