The materials development program of an inservice teacher training course for teaching English in elementary schools: Focused on GPOE teacher instructor training program

This study aims to contribute to the improvement of teacher training programs by developing, applying and assessing a customized in-service teacher training course in teaching English in elementary schools. A 60-hour, 10 day intensive training program was planned for one class of 30 elementary school teachers. Its syllabus consisted of the lectures, teaching demonstrations with supplementary materials, and practical work necessary to analyze, assess, produce, apply and adapt materials. The course proceeded with the intention to include as little lecture as possible. The assessment of the training program showed the following: the trainees' evaluations of individual lectures and their self-evaluations were mostly up to and above the degree of 'Good', but the evaluations of the course's general management were lower. Responses did not show significant differences when viewed through the lens of variables such as gender, the type of English teaching experience and the academic background of the participants. Differences in responses did show when accounting for variables such as the teaching career of the trainees and their motivation to attend the training. The group with a long teaching career and the group that attended voluntarily were not respectively satisfied as much as the group with a short teaching career and the group that was forced to attend. The reasons for the variances in satisfaction were analyzed in order to contribute to the improvement of teacher training programs.
