Yabancı Dil Öğretiminde (Almanca) Dijital Hikaye Anlatım Yönteminin Araştırılması

Günümüz öğrencisinin dijital teknoloji ile iç içe olduğu aşikardır. Bunun sonucunda öğrencilere bilgi sunma konusunda teknolojiden yararlanılması kaçınılmaz bir gerçektir. Web 2.0 araçları, eğitimde önemli yer teşkil eder. Bunlardan biri de dijital hikaye anlatım araçlarıdır. Kişi kendi hikayesini oluşturabilir ve hatta bu hikayesini dijital olarak sunabilir. İşte bu doğrultuda digital storytelling yani dijital hikaye anlatımı yöntemi son yıllarda ortaya çıkan yeni bir öğrenci merkezli öğrenme metodu olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Türkiye’de ve dünyada özellikle Almanca dil eğitimi ve dijital teknoloji ilişkisi üzerinde yapılan araştırmaların azlığı göze çarpmaktadır. Bu eylem araştırmasında Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde bir Anadolu Lisesi’nde Almanca yabancı dil öğretiminde dijital hikaye anlatma yönteminin uygulanması incelenmiştir. 97 öğrencinin katıldığı bu çalışmada verilerin ve bulguların ışığında bu yöntemin öğrencilerin motivasyonlarını arttırdığı, teknik ve yabancı dil bilgilerini geliştirdiği sonuçlarına varılmıştır. Bu araştırma dijital hikaye yönteminin rahatlıkla Türkiye’de uygulanabileceğini ve yabancı dil eğitimine katkı sunacağını göstermiştir. Dijital hikaye anlatımı üzerine yapılan bu eylem araştırmasının sonuçları doğrultusunda öğretmenlere, öğretmen yetiştiricilerine ve araştırmacılara öneriler sunulmuştur

Investigating Digital Storytelling Method in German as a Foreign Language Teaching

It is obvious that current students are interested in digital technology. As a result, it is inevitable not to make use of instructional technologies. Web 2.0 tools, one of which is digital storytelling tool, hold an important place in education. One can create his/her own story and narrate it digitally. Thus, digital storytelling is considered a recent student-centered learning method. There seems to be a scarcity of research both in Turkey and the world on German language education and digital technology. This case study investigated the digital storytelling method in an Anatolian High School in southeast part of Turkey. With 97 student participants, this study results revealed that digital storytelling method increased student motivation and enhanced language and computer skills. This study showed that digital storytelling method can easily be applied in Turkish context and it promotes foreign language education. Based on the study results, pedagogical implications and suggestions were provided for teachers, teacher trainers, and researchers
