Turkish pre-service EFL teachers’ reflections on practicum during pandemic: Planning, implementation and reflection

Abstract

Similar to various fields of scientific inquiry, teacher education has gone through dramatic changes during Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the current study is to investigate its effects on pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ in-class practices via three different instruments. Participants were 15 pre-service EFL teachers at a state university in Istanbul. Data collection tools involved the participants’ reflections both on their own and their peers’ online teaching experiences in Teaching Philosophy (as in pre and post design), Self-Observation and Peer Evaluation. Phenomenological Analysis of data revealed that they were predominantly concerned with planning and implementation phases of their teaching. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that the basics of online EFL teaching are fundamentally different from traditional EFL classes. In brief, pre-service EFL teacher education calls for further modifications in accordance with the changes in teaching medium initiated by Covid-19 pandemic.
