Pre-service teachers' perceptions on foreign language teaching issues

Abstract

Foreign language learning has always been an issue on the agenda of language teachers. Some find the problem in the teaching of grammar while some others believe that language learning can be improved properly without the tradition. Although functional and communicative syllabuses improved by blended learning claim to teach language thoroughly, learner, teacher or the material; one of the parts of the tripod has always been complaining about one or the other two not to create the necessary involvement into the learning atmosphere. This paper focuses on the observations of pre-service teachers on the foreign language learning problems after they have attended the school experience course in different secondary and high schools. Their answers were classified and analysed and the possible reasons were explained. Further recommendations were added to the end of the study to enlighten the research to be carried on from this study. Keywords: Language learning issues; foreign language teaching; pre-service teachers.
