Equipping Learners With Listening Straregies in English Language Classes

Bu çalışmanın amacı başlangıç düzeyinde ingilizce öğrenen öğrencilerin dinleme becerisiyle ilgili görüşlerini araştırmak ve dinleme stratejileri üzerine eğitim verilen öğrencilerin bu stratejileri dinleme sürecinde aktif olarak ne derece kullandıklarını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışma ingilizce eğitim veren bir üniversitenin hazırlık okulunda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya 41 öğrenci katılmıştır. Veriler anket ve sesli düşünme protokolleri yoluyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular çok az sayıda öğrencinin kendisinin dinleme konusunda iyi olduğunu düşündüğünü ve dinleme stratejilerinin pek fazla öğrenci tarafından bilinmediğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Katılımcılar dinleme stratejileri konusunda alabilecekleri bir eğitimin faydalı olacağı görüşündedirler. Sesli düşünme protokolleri öğrencilere böyle bir eğitim verilmesi durumunda öğrendikleri stratejileri dinlemede kullanacaklarını göstermektedir.

İngilizce Derslerinde Öğrencilere Dinleme Stratejilerinin Kazandırılması

This study aimed at investigating beginner level English language learners’ perspectives on the listening skill with regard to several dimensions, and to find out the extent to which the learners who have been trained in listening strategies actually use them while listening. The study took place at the English Preparatory School of an English medium university. Forty-one learners participated in this study. The study was based on qualitative data that were collected through two means: a survey questionnaire and think-aloud protocols. The findings indicate that a few students in this study considered themselves good at listening. Not so many students knew about listening strategies and they thought that a training might help them be more successful in English. The results of the think aloud protocols suggest that if students are given training in listening strategies, they will make use of these strategies while listening to texts.
