Produktbeschreibung
This study examines the perceptions of Kuwaiti
elementary school English language teachers, and
their supervisors regarding the teachers
effectiveness in teaching English to first
and second grader and teachers opinions of
training they received. Participants were first
grade English teachers chosen for their
varying socioeconomic and cultural diversity. Data
included formal interviews guided by questionnaires,
informal interviews, observations and tape-
recordings and documents such as the teachers
manual, handouts, & evaluations.The main findings of
the study were first, the Kuwaiti English language
teachers strongly approved of communicative
language teaching. They were extremely reluctant to
depart from the set lesson plans supplied in the
teachers manual by the Ministry of Education.
Second, the teachers, and the supervisors, would
have liked to expand the official curriculum, which
focused on speaking and listening, to include more
translation into Arabic, and earlier
introduction of reading, writing, and simple
grammar.Third, the teachers were highly critical of
their college EFL trainings
