Résumé :	EFL learners tend to face difficulties in comprehending scientific texts, especially when they are full of technical terms or when the topic is unfamiliar to them. However, being knowledgeable about rhetorical functions may assist students to understand scientific register by showing them the different logical relationships between the ideas presented in the print. Accordingly, the present study aims at investigating teachers’ perceptions of the role of rhetorical functions in enhancing EFL learners’ comprehension of scientific text. It is hypothesized that being knowledgeable about the different rhetorical functions could assist EFL learners in a better understanding of scientific texts. To achieve the aim of the study, a questionnaire was assigned to 15 teachers of English for Specific Purposes (ESP)/English for Science and Technology (EST) at the Department of letters and English language, University of frères Mentouri Constantine 1. The findings obtained from the analysis of the questionnaire have shown that teachers highly believe in the significance of rhetorical functions for the comprehension of scientific texts stating that being knowledgeable about the different rhetorical functions could assist them in a better understanding of scientific discourse. Hence, teachers are highly recommended to introduce their learners to the different rhetorical functions and to sustain their lectures with exercises about them.
