Student teachers’ attitudes towards the compulsory English courses at the Turkish universities



The intent of the current study is
to explore teacher candidates’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitude
towards the compulsory English courses at universities and the relation of
attitude with the participants’ genders, studying departments, graduated high
schools, goals and hours for studying English. The cross-sectional survey and
correlational research design, interlaced within each other, were embraced to
reach that objective. 207 volunteer freshman students were sampled at the
education faculty of a state university. A partially adapted survey was wielded
as a data collection instrument. Based on the results of the descriptive and
inferential statistics, while a large number of the respondents aimed to pass
the English course, almost half of them did not ever exert any effort to learn
the English language. The participants displayed negative attitude in all
attitudinal components substantiating monolithic attitudinal concept. Male
students displayed more favorable dispositions than females. Teacher learners
getting education at the Turkish Language Education department bore more
approving attitude than the other departments. The participants graduated from
general high schools unexpectedly embraced more favorable dispositions. The
participants’ goals and hours for studying English had very little share on
their attitude. Hinged upon the results, a number of suggestions were forwarded
to educators to promote approving dispositions in the language learners and
teacher learners.
