Öz
“Çocuklara İngilizce Öğretimi” dersi her zaman İngilizce Öğretmenliği programlarının en önemli derslerinden biri olmuştur. 2018-2019 Akademik yılında uygulamaya başlayan yeni İngilizce Öğretmenliği Lisans programı ile, Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu, bu dersin ders saatlerini iki saati teorik ve iki saati pratik olmak üzere 4 saatten, sadece teorik konuları içerecek olan 3 saate düşürdü. Ders artık teorik konuları kapsayacağı için, bu çalışma bu derste öğretilecek en çok tercih edilen konuları belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada keşfedici sıralı karma yöntemden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın anketini oluşturmak için, araştırmanın nitel kısmında 42 devlet üniversitesinin İngilizce Öğretmenliği öğretim programları içerik analizi yoluyla incelenmiştir. Ardından, frekans tabloları ve konular oluşturulmuş, alanında iki uzmanla görüşme yaptıktan sonra 51 temel konuya sekiz konu daha eklenmiştir. Son olarak, ankete ilişkin konuların son tablosu oluşturulmuş ve anket Google Formlarında düzenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın nicel kısmında, veri Türkiye'nin farklı şehirlerinden 266 öğretmen, öğretmen eğitimcisi ve öğretmen adaylarından toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, katılımcıların görsel öğeler, oyunlar ve şarkılar kullanmanın, çocukların konuşma becerilerini geliştirmenin ve çocukları ve özelliklerini tanımlamanın, Çocuklara İngilizce Öğretimi için en önemli konular olduğunu düşündüğünü göstermiştir. Katılımcıların çalışma durumu, konu başlıkları tercihlerinde bazı önemli farklılıklar ortaya çıkarsa da, öğretmenlik deneyimleri açısından tercihlerinde anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmamıştır.
