Özet
Teachers' beliefs are important in understanding their thought processes and classroom practices. In the field of second/foreign language education, what constructs the core of teacher knowledge has always been the topic of both discussion and research. Understanding pre-service teachers' beliefs is important since these beliefs will most likely determine the way teachers will teach in the future. This study aims at identifying pre-service EFL teachers' beliefs about Communicative Approach, their self-efficacy in its implementation, their self-efficacy beliefs regarding their foreign language skills, and their beliefs on the influence of the program related to CA. Forty-eight pre-service EFL teachers doing their practicum at a central Anatolian state university in Turkey participated in a 56 item questionnaire. The results reveal that pre-service EFL teachers have positive beliefs about CA, feel themselves efficient in their EFL skills, they are comfortable with implementing CA in their classrooms, and they believe that the ELT program they attended helped them to build the necessary skills to teach communicatively.
