Abstract | The current post-secondary educational system for professional preparation of the Ukrainian EFL teachers is not satisfactory. This paper attempts to make an objective comparative analysis of professional training programmes of American ESL teachers versus Ukrainian EFL teachers with the purpose of improving its current state. The questionnaire on professional standards and teachers' evaluation and second language acquisition was created. English faculty members of Central Ukrainian State Pedagogical University and Uman State Pedagogical University were surveyed. The study pointed out the five mandatory TESOL standards in preparing EFL/ESL teachers such as language, culture, instruction, assessment, professionalism and provided reasoned arguments why it would be prudent to include some of the TESOL fundamental core subjects such as first language acquisition, second language acquisition, bilingual pedagogy and professional ethics into Ukrainian educational curricula. The authors eliminated some deeply rooted and widespread professional stereotypes about teaching English that still exist among many Ukrainian EFL professionals. The research clearly revealed a significant contrast between academically competent and professionally qualified teachers and allowed 55 experienced Ukrainian EFL teachers with advanced postgraduate academic degrees to freely express their opinions about some severe problems that exist in today's national EFL educational system. The study contributes to the body of research concerning the training of professional EFL teachers in Ukraine. Additionally, these findings can be useful for ordinary EFL teachers in their everyday professional practice for improving their classroom instruction and delivery methods or for designing their teaching and learning materials.
