In Service Training of ELT Teachers in Turkey Between 1998-2005
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine and describe the in-service training (INSET) programs which were organized by the Ministry of Education for English langauage teachers (ELT teachers) in Turkey, during the 1998-2005 academic years. 186 teachers and 5 instructors who participated in ELT INSET programs from 2003 to 2005 were randomly selected as samples. The data for the study were obtained by means of interviews and questionnaires. As a result of the study, it has been determined that the number and the content of the INSET programs for ELT teachers are insufficient. At the end of the study, it was concluded that INSET should be practised widely all over the country. All teachers should take part in INSET programs periodically. Each school should perform a needs analysis for its teachers and find out the necessary INSET topics and inform the Ministry of Education. The courses should be practice-based.
