description  Doing research within the qualitative paradigm can be a challenging task sometimes. However, when well designed and implemented, research itself and being engaged in research related activities offers a myriad of opportunities for personal and professional growth. Considering these aspects, through this reflective article I provide some thoughts on initial aspects I consider pre-service and in-service EFL teachers should bear in mind if intending to enter the qualitative research field. In doing so, firstly I provide a general overview of what qualitative research is while also making an analysis of what it implies. Second, I reflect upon some elements which should be considered at the moment of beginning a formal research endeavor. Finally, the final remarks derived from the practical considerations given to pre-service and in-service EFL teachers willing to work with qualitative inquiry are presented. Key words: English teachers, qualitative research, thoughts for English teachers intending to enter the field
