Teacher Training Teaching Problems Encountered By Novice Teachers

Authors : Merbouh Zouaoui .

Abstract

Teacher training refers to the professional preparation of teachers including all aspects of teacher development. It should focus its attention on classroom practice and have as its main goal the improvement of the teacher's practical efforts to provide effective learning on the students. Therefore, it is an important issue because it provides choices and use of adequate methodology in teaching. However, some questions can be put forward: -Are teachers in our universities really equipped with learning as well as teaching theories to bring about them an effective learning? -Can post-graduate students, getting a job for the first time, be able to provide an efficient learning? -As far as the 4th students are concerned, is there a link between what is done in TEFL lectures at the university and the courses taught to pupils in the secondary school? To tackle these questions, some suggestions will be mentioned so as to promote pedagogic development and to help teachers improve their practice. In this communication, I would like to start by making a distinction between teacher development and teacher training which are often used interchangeably and refer to the same thing: the professional preparation of teachers.
