Article Englısh As A Medıum Of Instructıon: From Academıc Staff’s Perspectıve(2021) Toscu, Saliha; 19287This study reveals Turkish academic staff’s opinions about English as a medium of instruction at the university level. A survey was given to 30 participants whose titles ranged from research assistants to associate professors working at different universities. In the study, the academic staff’s opinions about the benefits of EMI from global aspects, its effects on learning and teaching processes, its impact on the national identity, language, and development, and also the discrepancy between the language of instruction and work-life were examined. Additionally, the study reveals the differences in the academic staff’s opinions depending on gender, title, medium of instruction in education, and working in private or public institutions. The data were analyzed by quantitative methods. The findings showed a) a difference between male and female participants in their opinions regarding the effect of EMI on national concepts such as national language, identity; b) that the participants educated in EMI were more positive about the benefits of EMI for its global aspects and its effects on learning and teaching processes; c) that the participants’opinons differed from each other in national concepts as well as learning and teaching processes when the titles were analyzed; d) that the participants agreed on the possibility of a mismatch between the workplace and school due to the language of instruction e) and finally a difference between academic staff working in state institutions and private institutions revealing the academic staff in state institutions were more positive about the impact of EMI on learning and teaching processes.Article Instructors’ Awareness of the Syntactic and Morphological Differences between British and American English(2019) Toscu, Saliha; 19287This study explores Turkish English as a foreign language (EFL) instructors’ awareness of the syntactic and morphological variation in British English (BrE) and American English (AmE). The data were collected through a survey which was administered to 38 EFL instructors working at preparatory schools of different universities. The participants were asked to analyze 49 sentence-pairs in the survey to decide whether given sentences were correct or incorrect. The results indicated a) that the participants were better at recognizing the morphology and syntax of BrE than AmE, b) that of all the participants, the ones who were exposed to both varieties were better at recognizing the different uses of the syntactic and morphological forms in BrE and AmE than the ones exposing to the forms only in one variety, c) that the departments the participants graduated from did not have an impact on the recognition of the differences between BrE and AmE in syntax and morphology.Article Issues Related To English Language Teaching At Primary Schools And Suggested Solutions(2017) Güneş, Hilal; Karaazmak, Fulda; 32516The purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, it aims to examine Turkish Educational Policy with regard to English Language Teaching (ELT) at primary school level and then identify positive and negative sides both at the theoretical and practical level. Secondly it attempts to make some suggestions related to primary school ELT curriculum and teacher education. The studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of primary school ELT curriculum unveiled that; though teachers are contented with the fact that English language teaching starts at earlier grades, they indicated a myriad of problems related to assessment, quality of textbooks, technical infrastructure, teaching materials, physical conditions of the classrooms, class hours, in-service trainings, and so on. In the light of detected problems, some pedagogical suggestions related to primary school ELT curriculum and teacher education were made.Article The Effects of a Grammar Error Correction Session on Language Learners' Success(2018) Karaazmak, Fulda; 32516Error correction has a significant place in language teaching classrooms since language learning involves some kind of a trial and error process during which learners test their language related hypotheses. The present study sought to examine the effects of a grammar error correction session on 64 eleventh grade high school students’ success in a grammar test. The pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design involving the experimental and control groups was used in the study. In the data collection procedure, two parallel grammar tests were implemented to the learners. Results showed an increase in learners’ mean scores in the grammar test used as the post-test, which the learners took following the error correction session. However, the increase in the learners’ grades was not at a statistically significant level. The positive effects of the remedial error correction session were not explicit in the study.Article The evaluation of instructors’ views on the use of semiotics in English classrooms(2018) Altay, İsmail Fırat; Karaazmak, Fulda; 32516Semiotics is the scientific field dealing with the meaning making process via signs and symbols. This study primarily aims at investigating the opinions and preferences of English instructors about the usage of semiotic elements such as mimics, gestures, body movements, posture, eye contact, and clothing in language teaching classrooms. Instructors’ awareness of the unspoken interaction in the class, to what extent they are using the semiotic elements in their teaching style, whether they find these elements useful or not are among the aims of this study. Further aims include determining whether or not language instructors need training about the effective use of non-verbal communication and which semiotic elements they may need special training in. In the data collection process, a questionnaire involving 20 items in a Likert scale format is completed by 40 English instructors, who are currently working in a university preparatory school. The results of the study reveal English instructors’ positive beliefs about the effective use of semiotic elements in their teaching and the powerful effect of successful non-verbal communication to boost student achievement and motivation. Additionally, having previous training on non-verbal communication use is found to be influential on instructors’ belief, which is interpreted as a need for training about the conscious use of semiotic elements in language teaching. Based on these findings, some pedagogical recommendations are proposed for further research.Article Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçenin Öğretiminde Sözcükler Arası Anlam İlişkileri: Yeni Hitit Yabancılar İçin Türkçe Örneği(2021) Şengezer, MügeSözcük bilgisi, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde önemli bir öğrenme alanıdır. Bir sözcüğü bilmek onun sessel, biçimsel, anlamsal, dilbilgisel özelliklerini bilmek demektir ve bu özellikleri anlamak için dilbilimden faydalanmak gerekmektedir. Bu çerçevede, bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturan sözcükler arası anlam ilişkilerini anlamak için, sözcüklerin anlamsal özelliklerini açıklayan dilbilim alanı olan anlambilimden faydalanılmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı yabancı dil olarak Türkçenin öğretiminde sözcükler arasındaki anlam ilişkilerini anlambilim bakış açısıyla açıklamak ve bu ilişkilerin öğretimini eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Diller İçin Avrupa Ortak Başvuru Metni temel alınarak belirlenen çalışmanın temel kategorileri eşanlamlılık, karşıt anlamlılık, altanlamlılık, eşdizimlilik, parça-bütün ilişkisi, bileşen çözümlemesi ve çeviri eşdeğerliği anlambilim bakış açısıyla açıklanmıştır. Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretildiği sınıflarda kullanılmak üzere hazırlanmış olan temel düzeydeki Yeni Hitit Yabancılar İçin Türkçe ders ve çalışma kitabı, öğretmen kitabıyla birlikte bu ilişkilerin öğretimi açısından eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla incelenmiştir. Çalışmada ulaşılan sonuçlar, sözcük öğretimi ve sözcükler arası anlam ilişkilerinin öğretimi açısından ders kitabının daha etkin bir şekilde düzenlenmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.Article Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçenin Öğretiminde Sözcükler Arası Anlam İlişkileri: Yeni Hitit Yabancılar İçin Türkçe Örneği(2020) Şengezer, Müge; Doyuran, ZeynepSözcük bilgisi, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde önemli bir öğrenme alanıdır.
