摘要：Pre-service teacher education programs such as, TEFL, TESOL, and ELT are
offered in some universities in Bangladesh. Meeting the criteria and based on their
level, students tend to enroll in BA in TEFL or TESOL and MA in TESOL or ELT
programs. These programs entail different courses that are claimed to enable
enrollees with the repertoires required to be an expert language teachers. However,
for unknown reason, the effectiveness of such teacher education programs has not
been explored. The current study intended to reveal what student teachers think
about their teacher education programs. Adopting the pre-service teacher education
program evaluation model suggested by Peacock, the current study was conducted.
Semi-structured interview with the selected participants was also undertaken.
Conducting the descriptive statistics elicited the respondents’ perceptions
regarding the teacher education programs. Majority of the participants viewed the
programs instrumental to develop their pedagogic and linguistics competence.
