It utilized a teaching competences test that included (20) items which were divided over (5) parts. The participants were (35) EFL secondary school teachers (16 males and 19 females) at Hurghada Educational Administration at Red Sea Governorate in Egypt. Following a quasi-experimental design, the research utilized the instrument to record the results and interpret them in the light of its hypotheses. Results showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the participants in the pre-post testing of teaching competencies favoring the post testing. Additionally, there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the participants in the post testing of teaching competencies according to gender variable. Furthermore, there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the participants in the post testing of teaching competencies according to years of experience variable. Recommendations of the research included highlighting practicing electronic knowledge sharing in both pre-service and in-service teachers trainings to enhance the teachers’ teaching competencies.
