Abstract
Teacher education is an essential part of educational systems all over the world as it has an effect upon the new coming
generations. Especially with the rise of modern educational methodologies and approaches, language teaching field has gained
priority. Also, considering the arising communication needs with the help of a lingua franca, English Language teacher
education has become a controversial issue. Therefore, language education and education of language teachers are significant
topics to be debated. Thus, the present study is an attempt to shed light on the differences and similarities between ELT teacher
education programmes in European countries and Turkey. The study was designed as a literature review including the
comparison between European countries and Turkey in terms of ELT teacher education. The alterations and the adaptations
of the programmes with the examples from different countries were also presented in the study.
