Resumen
Student teachers come to university with expectations of learning how to become good teachers and the program designed for their education also aims to prepare them for their future profession. While student teachers are navigating their way towards professionalism, they need to shift identities from student to novice teacher with a well designed program. Unfortunately, the English language teaching programs in Turkey fail in this aspect although the mission stated is in line with the ideal. This paper is about a small scale qualitative study conducted at a Turkish university with the third-year student teachers' studying the "Teaching English to Young Learners" course.The efficiency of the program will be discussed together with the data analysis. The discussion will hopefully lead to larger scale research on student teacher preparation for professionalism.
