Abstract
The wave of change in the educational landscape started with Emergency Remote Teaching due to pandemic and followed by the hybrid system adopted in higher education institutions. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the effects of hybrid system on English teacher education and get the reflections of English teacher educators regarding its post-effects on teacher candidates. To this end, 18 English teacher educators from 10 different state universities were reached to evaluate post-pandemic teacher education. Adopting a qualitative research design, the participants were asked to complete a survey which included nine questions about different learner types emerged due to online instruction, effects of hybrid system on teacher educators and teacher candidates, and survival tips for teacher educators. The data were analysed through thematic analysis and the findings were reported under the categories of overall evaluation, post-effects of hybrid system, crucial factors and survival tips, and learner types. The findings are discussed in line with the related literature and some implications for education faculties are presented.
