Background

Our project is about increasing the professional development of English teachers working in these education centers by being included in the consortium membership of the public education centers in Kırıkkale center and its eight districts. Although the demand for after-school foreign language education for adults is increasing day by day, the cost of private foreign language courses in the city center and the lack of private foreign language courses in our districts direct adult individuals to the public education center for foreign language learning. Our teachers working in our Public Education centers received training on foreign language teaching to students in formal education during their university years. These teachers do not have the knowledge and experience of the necessary skills, methods and techniques in foreign language teaching for adults. This situation causes adult learners who cannot gain a foreign language in their formal education, do not reach the desired quality and level in the foreign language education they receive in our public education centers. In the interviews with the teachers and learners, it was determined that the foreign language teaching in adult education was insufficient.
