Koç, Ebru Melek
International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, v8 n3 p455-466 2016
This study presents a critical diagnosis of in-service teacher-training activities offered to English-language teachers in Turkey and aims to investigate whether those teachers are satisfied with the activities. Thirty-two English-language teachers participated in this study. Data were collected from 32 elementary-school teachers of English as a foreign language, using a general evaluation form prepared by the researcher. The results indicate that the teachers are not satisfied with their inservice teacher-training activities and that in-service training does not fulfil their needs. The study also proposes an in-service teacher training model in distance format.
