Eğitim ortamlarında bilgisayar destekli dil
öğretimi (CALL) araçlarının kullanımının hızla artması sonucu, öğretmenlerin de
derslerinde Web 2.0 araçlarını etkili bir şekilde kullanmaları beklenmektedir.
Bu çalışmada, Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Yabancı Diller
Eğitimi Bölümü'nde öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarına CALL dersi verilmiş ve
dersin sonunda her öğrenciden 3 tane ders planı hazırlamaları istenmiştir. Bu
çerçevede, öğretmen adaylarının dersin bir ödevi olarak hazırladıkları ders
planlarındaki CALL aracı tercihlerinin ve dersin hangi aşamasında
kullandıklarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda,
katılımcıların en çok tercih ettikleri Web 2.0 aracının Youtube olduğu ve
dersin aşaması olarak da ders esnasında kullanmayı tercih ettikleri
bulunmuştur. Bu bulguların ışığında, öğretmenlere ve öğretmen adaylarına CALL
araçlarının çeşitliliğini artırabilmek ve CALL alanındaki son gelişmelerden
onları haberdar etmek adına eğitim verilmesinin uygun olacağı düşünülmüştür.

Preferences of Preservice Teachers of English in terms of CALL Tools

Öz

In parallel with the rapidly increasing use of computer assisted language learning (CALL) tools in educational settings, teachers are expected to use recent devices and Web 2.0 tools while teaching English. In this study, preservice teachers of English studying at a state-run university in Turkey were offered CALL course and they were asked to design lesson plans at the end of the semester. Within this framework, it was aimed to investigate the CALL tool preference of the ELT pre-service teachers in the lesson plans they prepared as a course requirement and in which stages specifically they chose to integrate the CALL tools to their lesson plans. The findings of the study revealed that highest frequency of the CALL tool use in the lesson plans of the participants was found at the while-stage and the most commonly preferred CALL tool was YouTube. In the light of this study, it can be suggested that this kind of training should be offered both for the pre-service teachers and in-service teachers in order to diversify the range of CALL tools to be used for teaching English and to make them aware of the recent developments about CALL.
