This study aimed to investigate the role that the theoretical education plays on Umm Al-Qura pre-services English teachers' practice in classrooms and if it reflects a real correlation between theory and practice from their perceptions. A quantitative correlation approach was implemented using a questionnaire to collect the data. The participants were students studied in education faculty in UQU for the second semester of the year 2016/2017. The findings indicate that there is (positive, negative) relationship between the quality of theoretical education phase and the pre-service English teachers' practice in their classrooms. Also, there is statistically significance difference in reflecting the correlation between theory and practice.
