English Language Teacher Education Research Colloquium Who Should Be Teachers of English?
Öz
The problems related to native versus non-native teachers of English are discussed. The possible lack of knowledge of the cultural background of the language to be taught by non-native teachers is juxtaposed against the transmission of values related to cultural superiority by native English speaking teachers. I think Boğaziçi University is indeed an appropriate place to discuss issues related to English language teacher education research, on several accounts. First, teacher education has a history at this university starting in 1973, before the Faculties of Education were formed within the new structuring of universities in 1982. Secondly, research has been the ‘conditio sine qua non’ of teacher education in all fields of the Faculty of Education of Boğaziçi University, including the programs of the Department of Foreign Language Education. In addition, all of us here from Boğaziçi University have learned English as a foreign language at various ages, some earlier than others; and finally, our campus is gorgeous in spring and summer. I would like to express my thanks to the Department of Foreign Language Education of the Faculty of Education for the organization of this meaningful event, as well as to all of you participating in this colloquium.
