Abstract

Yabancı dil öğretmenleri ve öğrencileri eğitim sürecine öğretme ve öğrenmeyle
ilgili daha önceden oluşturdukları düşünceleriyle dahil olurlar. İngilizce öğretmenine ait
olan düşünceler de daha önceden oluşturulmuş düşünce sisteminde yer alır. Öğrenci ve
öğretmenlerin düşünceleri davranışları daha iyi anlamada ve hem öğrenme hem de
öğretme sürecini daha iyi hale getirmede önemli olduğundan ortaya çıkarılmaları büyük
önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı dil öğrencilerinin ve öğretmenlerinin İngilizce
öğretmenine ait algılarını metaforlar aracılığıyla ortaya çıkarmaktır.
