The participants were divided into control andexperimental groups. Only pretest and posttest were conducted to control group participants; however,pretest and posttests, the EPOSTL Use 1 and 2 were conducted to the experimental group participants.Multiple sets of data came from a) questionnaire, b) peer observation, c) reflective journal, and d)interview. The quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS 21. The qualitative datacollected from the peer observation, reflective journal, and interview was analyzed through qualitativethematic analysis. The results, overall, showed that the effect of the EPOSTL on the self- evaluation of thestudent teachers of English provided positive results. The findings demonstrate that the majority of theparticipants agree that the EPOSTL advances self-reflection and self-assessment, since it assists inchecking the improvement of their didactic knowledge, teaching competences and skills. Thecomprehensive and clear structure of the EPOSTL found to be the main advantage of it. As the studentteachers are not practical in teaching and require guidance through the complexity of language teaching,the EPOSTL enables them to match the theoretical knowledge with practical skills.

EPOSTL'nin İngilizce Öğretmen Adaylarının Öz Değerlendirmesine Etkisi
Öz: Bu çalışmanın amacı EPOSTL’nın (Yabancı dil öğretmenliği okuyanlar için Avrupa portfolyosu) Ahmet Yesevi Uluslararası Kazak-Türk Üniversitesi İngilizce Öğretmenliği öğrencilerinin öz-değerlendirmesine olan etkisini incelemektir. Ardışık açıklayıcı karma yöntem deseninin kullanıldığı bu çalışma, 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim yıllında Ahmet Yesevi Uluslararası Kazak-Türk Üniversitesi Filoloji Fakültesi’nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya 71 dördüncü sınıf İngiliz dili öğretmenliği öğrencileri katılmıştır. Katılımcılar kontrol ve deney gruplarına ayrıldı. Kontrol grup katılımcılarına sadece ön test ve son test uygulanmış, ancak deney grubuna ön test ve son test, EPOSTL 1 ve 2 kullanımı uygulanmış. Veri seti olarak aşağıdakiler gelir: a) anket, b) akran gözlemi, c) yansıtıcı günlük ve d) mülakat. Nicel veriler IBM SPSS 21 aracılığıyla betimsel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Akran gözleminden yansıtıcı günlük ve görüşmeden toplanan nitel veriler niteliksel tematik analiz yoluyla analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, genel olarak, EPOST’nın İngilizce öğretmenlerinin öz-değerlendirmelerine etkisinin olumlu sonuçlar verdiğini göstermiştir. Bulgular, katılımcıların çoğunluğunun EPOSTL’nın didaktik bilgilerinin, öğretim becerilerinin geliştirilmesinin kontrol edilmesine yardımcı olduğundan, öz-yansıma ve öz-değerlendirme geliştirdiğini kabul etmektedir. EPOSTL’nın kapsamlı ve net yapısı, bunun temel avantajı olarak bulundu. Öğretmen adayları öğretimde pratik olmadığından ve dil öğretiminin karmaşıklığı ile rehberlik gerektiğinden, EPOSTL teorik bilgileri pratik becerilerle eşleştirmelerini sağlar.
