- W2278855688 abstract "This thesis explores the experiences of four English language teachers in Turkey who movedfrom teaching in either high schools or language schools to teaching English to younglearners. The study follows these teachers in their first year of teaching in primary school,describes the changes they went through in their approach to teaching English, and identifiesthe influences on these changes.The background to this research was an educational reform which introduced Englishinto the primary curriculum. After this reform, there was a shortage of English teachers at theprimary level. A common solution was to recruit English teachers from other levels of theeducational system. Three of the participating teachers taught in high school before theymoved to teach English in the primary school. One of the participating teachers taughtEnglish to adults in a language school before moving to the primary level.The data for the study was generated through systematic interviews with the teachers,as well as regular observations of their classes, over the course of the school year. Theinterpretation of the data was informed by the existing literature on teaching English to younglearners and the literature on teacher change.At the end of the school year, all of the teachers said they would like to continueteaching English in the primary school. In adjusting to teaching children, the teachers mainlyfocused on developing class management strategies. The teachers did not, however, focus onmaximising opportunities for learning the target language. The main influences on theteachers' change were in-service training, textbooks, as well as interaction with and supportfrom colleagues. The research contributes to the debate of how to best facilitate theintroduction of English into primary schools, and calls for further research into teacherdevelopment in the context of such curricular reforms." @default.
