Bringing together five teachereducators with 12+ years of supervision experience, this study focusedon the improvement of the quality in practicumin ELT teacher education programs in different cities. Integrating theperspectives of cooperating teachers and student teachers, we found that thereis a need for co-constructing visions for professional learning early on inpracticum among teacher educators and cooperating teachers. Our one-and-a-halfyear-long collaborative inquiry revealed three themes related to the practicum:the need for improving communication patterns among teacher educators andcooperating teachers; clarifying roles and visions for professional developmentof student teachers; and the need for all practicum stakeholders to developstronger professional enthusiasm and ownership of ELT based on theirprofessional identities.

Bu amaçla, 12 yıldan fazla danışmanlıkdeneyimi olan ve farklı şehirlerde İngilizce öğretmeni yetiştirmeprogramlarında görev yapan öğretmen yetiştiriciler, öğretmenlik uygulamasıdersinin iyileştirmesini amaçlayarak bir araya gelmiş ve deneyimleriniyansıtmıştır. Daha sonra öğretmenlik uygulaması sürecinde danışman öğretmenolarak görev yapan hizmet içi öğretmenlerin ve öğretmen adaylarının görüşleride alınmıştır. Bunların sonucunda, öğretim elemanları ile okullardaki danışmanöğretmenlerin, öğretmenlik uygulamasının planlanması aşamasından itibaren "birliktegeliştirilen yaklaşımlar" oluşturmasının gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Birbuçuk yıl süren ortak çalışmaya dayalı olan bu araştırmada, öğretmenlikuygulamasına yönelik olarak üç tema öne çıkmıştır. Bu temalar, öğretimelemanları ile danışman öğretmenler arasındaki iletişim kalıplarınıngeliştirilmesi, öğretmen adaylarının öğretmenlik uygulaması sürecindekirollerinin ve yaklaşımlarının belirginleştirilmesi ve tüm öğretmenlikuygulaması paydaşlarının İngilizce öğretmeye dayalı mesleki kimliklerine ilişkingüçlü profesyonel istek ve sahiplenme duygularını geliştirmelerinin gerekliliğiolarak gruplanmıştır.
