Özet

Bu çalışma Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyetindeki (KKTC) yüksek öğretim bağlamında yürütülen küçük ölçekli bir durum çalışması yoluyla İngilizce öğretmenlerinin mesleki gelişimleri ile ilgili olarak eğitim denetimini nasıl algıladıklarını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. İngiliz dili öğretimi bağlamı ile ilgili olarak eğitim denetimi ve mesleki gelişim terimlerinin kuramsal alt yapıları ile başlamaktadır. Eğitim denetleyicisinin İngilizce öğretmenlerinin performansının olumlu yönlerini vurguladığını, onları zayıf oldukları noktalarda düşünmeye cesaretlendirdiğini ve zayıf olunan noktaları gidermek için çözümler bulduğunu gösteren bir çalışma ile devam etmektedir. Çalışma bir taraftan dil öğretmenlerinin eğitim denetimi ile ilgili inanışları ve gerçek tecrübeler arasında göze çarpan farklılığı, diğer taraftan denetleyiciler tarafından gerçekleştirilecek etkili eğitim denetimi ile ilgili dil öğretmenlerinin beklentilerini sunarak bitmektedir.
