Education

Doctorate, TEFL Education
  • at University Of Kwazulu-natal

This study aimed to investigate final-year English major Saudi student teachers’ perceptions of preparedness as well as their actual preparedness to teach English as a foreign language after their graduation. Previous work has failed to address student teachers’ perceptions of preparedness to teach after graduation. An interpretive qualitatively dominant approach was used to explore the student teachers’ preparedness to teach English. A case study design was employed using four data-generating strategies: a predominantly qualitative questionnaire; the Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT); focus group discussions; and interviews with four teacher participants.
