Quality teachers are significant factors in improving the chances of students' success. Teacher education programs are seen as important factors for preparing quality teachers and educational reform. The education research community has spent years debating the value of teacher education and their impact on teaching effectiveness and student achievement. There is evidence that high quality teacher education programs will result in better teaching performance and learners' achievement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the English Language Teacher Education Program (ELTEP) at King Khaled University, K.S.A. in the light of the TESOL/NCATE standards of teacher education program recognition. The study also aims at developing the program so that it gives a better chance for accreditation. Results of the study revealed that ELTEP at King Khaled University , K.S.A. comes up short on the obligation to adequately prepare graduates for the teaching profession as evaluated by the TESOL/NCATE standards. While it is true that many courses of the ELTEP are approaching some of the standards set by TESOL/NCATE, few courses meet and/ or exceed standards. The study finally presents a suggested development of the program. |
