Abstract | The purpose of this study is to examine pre-service teachers' motivations for choosing English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching as a future profession for Female Arab citizens living in Israel. Data were gathered using the adapted Factors Influencing Teaching Choice (FIT-Choice) scale. Study participants (a cohort of N = 100) responded to a questionnaire of 38 motivational factors that had influenced them to choose English teaching as a future profession when entering education colleges. In addition, 20 of the participants took part in semi-structured interviews. Results revealed that the reasons Arab students become English teachers are based on a combination of intrinsic, extrinsic, and altruistic motivations. As all study participants were women, our results provide an initial indication of what draws Arab women living in Israel to the profession. (As Provided). |
