摘要:This paper focuses on a case study of twelve student teachers¡¯
experiences about ¡®Teaching Practice¡¯ through teaching journals in an English
Language Teaching (ELT) department in a university in Turkey. Data were
analysed qualitatively through eight thematic categories, namely, ¡®teaching
topic¡¯, ¡®teaching techniques¡¯, ¡®problems in teaching¡¯, ¡®dealing with problems¡¯,
¡®successful parts in teaching¡¯, ¡®unsuccessful parts in teaching¡¯, ¡®changes in
the plan¡¯ and ¡®possible future change in teaching¡¯. ¡®Timing¡¯, ¡®classroom
management¡¯, ¡®giving instructions¡¯ and ¡®planning¡¯ are identified as the
problematic areas in teaching. The emergent data underline the importance of
teacher knowledge, teaching skills and competencies focusing on a more effective
school-faculty partnership and effective teacher education. The implications
of the study¡¯s findings are discussed at the end of the paper.
