Günümüzde teknolojideki hızlı gelişmeler, insanların yaşama şeklini köklü bir biçimde değiştirmekte ve şekillendirmektedir.Teknolojinin gelişimine paralel olarak eğitimde teknoloji kullanımı da giderek artmaya başlamıştır. Yabancı dil eğitimi de teknolojinin yaygın olarak kullanılmaya çalışıldığı alanlardan biridir. Dolayısıyla yabancı dil öğretmenlerinden beklenenler de değişmektedir. Her öğretmenden olduğu gibi yabancı dil öğretmenlerinden de artık beklenen, gelişen teknolojileri derslerdeki uygulamlarına başarılı bir şekilde entegre etmeleridir. Yabancı dil derslerine teknoloji entegrasyonu, hâliyle İngilizce öğretmenleri açısından yeni donanımları beraberinde getirmektedir. Çünkü teknoloji kullanımı İngilizce öğretiminin yapılış şeklini ve öğrencilerin öğrenme biçimini ciddi bir biçimde etkilemekte ve değiştirmektedir. Bu bakımdan, İngilizce öğretmenlerinin teknolojik yeterliliklerini artırmak gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, İngilizce öğretmeni olarak aktif çalışmaya başlamadan önce, İngilizce öğretmeni yetiştiren programlarda öğretmen adaylarına kendilerine meslek hayatlarında gerekli olacak teknolojik bilgi, beceri ve donanımın kazandırılması önem arz etmektedir. Alan yazında da söz konusu bilgi, beceri ve donanımları öğretmenlere ve bu çalışma özelinde İngilizce öğretmenlerine kazandırmada en önemli yerin öğretmen yetiştiren programlar yani hizmet öncesi dönem olduğu dile getirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki İngilizce öğretmeni yetiştiren programlara yönelik olarak dünyadaki alan yazından hareketle doküman analizine dayalı çıkarımlar yaparak, aday öğretmenlerin teknolojik olarak daha donanımlı mezun olması noktasında neler yapılabileceğine dair öneriler sunmaktır.
