Abstract

This study fills a major gap in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education by examining the integration of pedagogical tact (PT) in an EFL teacher education programme in Turkey. Through an in-depth examination of the programme and semi-structured interviews, this study investigated to what extent PT, including empathising with and motivating learners, effective classroom management, differentiated instruction and support for meaningful decision-making, is integrated. The qualitative content analysis of the programme demonstrated that many courses in the EFL teacher education programme are consistent with aspects of PT. However, there were a few areas where the programme could be further enhanced to better include all aspects of PT. This includes offering courses on effective communication and decision-making. The interviews conducted with 21 pre-service EFL teachers also revealed that most of them acknowledged that the programme is based on their potential teaching needs and challenges. However, they offered suggestions to improve the programme such as adding more technology courses and practice-based implementations. Throughout the study, recommendations are provided regarding how EFL teacher education programmes could be developed and implemented with more emphasis on PT. Hence, the study's findings have important implications for teacher education programme developers in Turkey and international contexts.

英语教师教育课程中的教学战术
本研究填补了英语作为外语(EFL)教师教育领域的一项重大空白,研究了土耳其 EFL 教师教育课程中教学战术(PT)的整合情况。通过对课程的深入研究和半结构式访谈,本研究调查了教学机智在多大程度上得到了整合,包括与学习者产生共鸣并激励学习者、有效的课堂管理、差异化教学和支持有意义的决策。对课程内容的定性分析表明,英语教师教育课程中的许多课程都与教学法的各个方面相一致。然而,该课程有几个方面可以进一步改进,以便更好地纳入教学法的各个方面。这包括开设有效沟通和决策课程。与 21 名职前英语教师的访谈也显示,大多数教师承认该课程是基于他们潜在的教学需 求和挑战。不过,他们也提出了改进该课程的建议,如增加更多的技术课程和以实践为基础的实施。在整个研究过程中,我们就如何开发和实施更注重实践教学的英语教师教育课程提出了建议。因此,研究结果对土耳其和国际背景下的师范教育课程开发者具有重要意义。
