Unveiling Teachers’ Personal Responses to Innovation

Öz

When awareness of the current plurality of English and of its implications for teaching is raised in teacher education courses, this perspective will afterwards emerge in teachers’ classrooms. Teachers’ ELF awareness was enhanced in the ENRICH course through reflective activities and in the forum where teachers shared personal views and beliefs about language learning and teaching within an ELF aware approach. In order to investigate the changes occurring during the course, a specific lens was used to analyze a group of participant teachers’ shift in perspective through their interventions when responding to reflective activities. A corpus-based discourse analysis of teachers’ language unveiled their positioning in terms of both their agency and their sense-making in a process of change.

Öğretmenlerin Yeniliğe Yönelik Kişisel Yaklaşımlarını Ortaya Çıkarmak

Öz

Öğretmen eğitimi derslerinde, İngilizcenin mevcut çeşitliliği ve bunun öğretim üzerindeki etkileri konusunda farkındalık oluşturulduğunda, bu bakış açısı daha sonra öğretmenlerin sınıflarında görülecektir. ENRICH eğitiminde düşündürücü etkinliklerle ve öğretmenlerin ortak dil olarak İngilizce (ODİ) farkındalığına sahip bir yaklaşım içinde dil öğrenimi ve öğretimi hakkında kişisel görüş ve inançlarını paylaştığı forumda, öğretmenlerin ODİ farkındalığı artıldı. Eğitim sırasında meydana gelen değişiklikleri araştırmak için, bir grup katılımcı öğretmenin düşündürücü etkinliklere yanıt verirkenki müdahaleleri yoluyla bakış açılarındaki değişimi analiz etmek için belirli bir mercek kullanıldı. Öğretmenlerin diline ilişkin derlem temelli bir söylem analizi, öğretmenlerin değişim sürecinde hem faillik hem de anlam çıkarımı açısından konumlanmalarını ortaya çıkardı.
