AbstractBuilding upon the theory of teacher cognition, the purpose of this study was to discover how pre-service teachers envision learning English as English Language Learners (ELLs) and teaching English to ELLs. We examined metaphors of 98 pre-service teachers who were enrolled in their first literacy methods course in their preparatory program at one of two universities in the United States. We used metaphor analysis methodology to look at the participants’ metaphor writing samples. Overall results showed the pre-service teachers viewed learning English to be foremost a challenge and secondarily a worthwhile challenge. In contrast, the pre-service teachers viewed teaching English to be a worthwhile challenge, followed by a challenge and process. Throughout this paper we highlight our reflection and relate our findings to previous research. To be a responsive teacher educator begins by knowing our pre-service teachers.

Program Data

This chapter aims to investigate the role of culture in English Language Preparatory Programs in Turkey. Specifically, the chapter attempts to gain insights on what types of culture teaching activities native and non-native English instructors use in their classroom, find out if there is any difference between the two groups of participants and lastly, identify to what extent they implement culture in their teaching practices.. The sample population of this study were 95 (44 native and 51 non-native) EFL instructors working in the preparatory program. Data were collected from a questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. The findings revealed that both groups of instructors agreed that language and culture are closely related and that culture should be integrated in classrooms frequently to help students to become intercultural speakers as well as become more competent in how to develop a relationship with people of other languages and cultures.

Dictionary Use

t is undoubtedly true that dictionaries are an indispensable tool for language learners, as they are sources of information as well as aids to learning (Nation, 2001). More specifically, learners' dictionaries are considered reservoirs of treasures and jewels of information about words and their etymology, formation, behavior, and usage (Nakamura, 2000). The current study was set to explore dictionary use among Saudi EFL university students at preparatory programs. The study included 100 female and male students from seven different Saudi universities. A 42-item questionnaire was administered to tap the participants' behavior towards dictionary use in terms of a) the type of dictionary they own, b) language skills they tend to use the dictionary with, c) reasons that make them use a dictionary, and d) the types of information they look up. The results showed that the participants tended to use electronic dictionaries as well dictionaries available on the Internet more than paper-based or handheld electronic dictionaries. Moreover, the need to discover the meaning of a new word or to confirm the meaning of a previously met word was the most important reason for the current study's participants to look up a word. When the types of information sought was involved, checking the pronunciation and the spelling of a word obtained the highest scores. Finally, it was suggested that further research concerning the new emerging skills of dictionary look-ups due to the advancements of technology needs to be conducted.
