Today, the rapid advances in technology have been drastically changing and shaping the way humans live. In line with these developments, the use of technology in education has been on the increase and language education is no exception. Therefore, the expectations from language teachers have been changing. As expected from all teachers of other fields, language teachers are expected to integrate technology into their practices successfully. Technology integration into language courses naturally requires new qualifications for English language teachers. Because, the use of technology has been affecting and changing the way English is taught and students learn. Therefore, technological competence levels of English teachers should be improved. In this context, it is essential to equip English teachers with the necessary technological knowledge and skills before they become real teachers. It is suggested in the literature that the most important time to equip teachers with such qualifications is teacher training programs, that is, pre-service teacher education. This study aims to offer suggestions based on inferences drawn from the literature with the use of document analysis for teacher training programs in Turkey about how to educate English teacher candidates to integrate technology successfully into their practices

English Language Teachers And Technology Education / İngilizce Öğretmenleri ve Teknoloji Eğitimi

Öz

Günümüzde teknolojideki hızlı gelişmeler, insanların yaşama şeklini köklü bir biçimde değiştirmekte ve şekillendirmektedir.Teknolojinin gelişimine paralel olarak eğitimde teknoloji kullanımı da giderek artmaya başlamıştır. Yabancı dil eğitimi de teknolojinin yaygın olarak kullanılmaya çalışıldığı alanlardan biridir. Dolayısıyla yabancı dil öğretmenlerinden beklenenler de değişmektedir. Her öğretmenden olduğu gibi yabancı dil öğretmenlerinden de artık beklenen, gelişen teknolojileri derslerdeki uygulamlarına başarılı bir şekilde entegre etmeleridir. Yabancı dil derslerine teknoloji entegrasyonu, hâliyle İngilizce öğretmenleri açısından yeni donanımları beraberinde getirmektedir. Çünkü teknoloji kullanımı İngilizce öğretiminin yapılış şeklini ve öğrencilerin öğrenme biçimini ciddi bir biçimde etkilemekte ve değiştirmektedir. Bu bakımdan, İngilizce öğretmenlerinin teknolojik yeterliliklerini artırmak gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, İngilizce öğretmeni olarak aktif çalışmaya başlamadan önce, İngilizce öğretmeni yetiştiren programlarda öğretmen adaylarına kendilerine meslek hayatlarında gerekli olacak teknolojik bilgi, beceri ve donanımın kazandırılması önem arz etmektedir. Alan yazında da söz konusu bilgi, beceri ve donanımları öğretmenlere ve bu çalışma özelinde İngilizce öğretmenlerine kazandırmada en önemli yerin öğretmen yetiştiren programlar yani hizmet öncesi dönem olduğu dile getirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki İngilizce öğretmeni yetiştiren programlara yönelik olarak dünyadaki alan yazından hareketle doküman analizine dayalı çıkarımlar yaparak, aday öğretmenlerin teknolojik olarak daha donanımlı mezun olması noktasında neler yapılabileceğine dair öneriler sunmaktır.
