Description
Summary:Penyediaan guru-guru secara profesional merupakan satu usaha yang amat penting bagi masa hadapan sesebuah negara. Di Malaysia proses penyediaan guru yang mengajar Bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa kedua (TESL) ke arah sistem pendidikan guru yang 1 ebih inova ti f dan berkesan sedang mengalami titik perubahan. Pendidik guru amnya dan pendidik guru Bahasa Inggeris khasnya diseru supaya mengamalkan pendekatan pendidikan guru berpusatkan pelajar. Pendekatan ini berasaskan konsep pembelajaran mela~ui pengalaman di samping mengambil kira dan mengamalkan metodologi terkini yang sepatutnya ,diamalkan di sekolah-sekolah. The professional preparation of teachers is one of the most important tasks for the future of a nation. In Malaysia English language teacher education is at a turning point. There have been and continue to be calls for efforts towards more innovative and effective implementation of training procedures. Language teacher educators are being persuaded to use a more studentoriented approach based on the concept of experiential learning and one that is also in keeping with the current language teaching methodology desired in schools. The use of the traditional lecture mode is to be minimized. In its place teacher educators are urged to employ, and thereby expose student teachers to, a variety of language teachinglearning strategies in the absence of a single best method.
