A Comparison of English Language Teacher Education Programs In Poland And Turkey

Öz

In today’s world, the English language has secured its role as a lingua franca. Yet, it is hard to claim that the English proficiency level in Turkey has reached the international standards. It is clear that some weaknesses of English language teacher education programs in the country have a role in these low levels of English proficiency.  The aim of the current study is to discuss English language teacher education programs in Turkey and Poland, with a focus on the similarities and differences of the educational systems. The first part of the study discusses the social and historical background of the status of the English language in society and in the educational system in both countries. In the second part of the study, the current English language teacher education programs at Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir, Turkey and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland are presented. The objective of the third part of the study is to compare and contrast the main differences and similarities between the programs and define the potential factors influencing the programs in both countries. It is expected that the best practices identified will lead to better English language teacher education programs for both countries, especially for Turkey.
