Bu araştırmada etkili dil öğretmenlerinin başarılı dil öğretimi ve öğrenme uygulamaları üzerindeki önemli etkisi üzerinedir. Bu çalışma, Lübnan üniversitelerinde aday öğretmen öğrencilerinin etkili dil öğretim algılarına dayanan niteliklerini ele almaktadır.

Sonuçlara göre, Libyalı aday öğretmen öğrencilerinin şu maddelere önem verdikleri anlaşılmıştı: 1) gramer ve kelime bilgisi da dahil olmak üzere bilgi ve güvenilirliğe büyük önem verdiğini; 2) temel olarak öğrenci katılımını teşvik ederek ve öğrencinin özgüvenini artırarak eğitilmesi; 3) öğretmenin tarafsızlığı ile büyük ölçüde karakterize edilen dürüstlük; 4) öğrencilerin özellikle dikkat konusunda uyumlu olmarını; ve 5) her ders için önceden hazırlık yapılması ve öğretmenlerin ek materyal hazırlaması. Bulguların, öğretmen adaylarının ve dil öğretmenlerinin öğretmenlik uygulamalarını geliştirmeleri için önemli etkileri olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Libyan Student Teachers’ Perceptions on the Attributes of the Effective EFL Teachers

Öz

Given the undeniable influence of effective language teachers on successful language teaching and learning practices, this study was set out to address the attributes of effective language teachers based on Libyan university level student teachers’ perception. A multi-method approach including both qualitative and quantitative means of data collection was employed in the study. Results indicated that Libyan student teachers placed high importance on 1) Knowledge and credibility including possessing the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary; 2) Delivery principally by encouraging student participation and increasing students’ self-confidence; 3) Fairness as mainly characterized by teacher impartiality; 4) Rapport specifically through features that involved care and attention students; and 5) Organization and Preparation as manifested by prior preparation for every lesson and provision of supplemental material by teachers. The findings have important implications for student teachers and language teachers to improve the efficiency of their teaching practices.
