Bağlam temelli sözcük öğretim yönteminin yabancılara türkçe öğretiminde uygulanması

Yeni bir dil öğrenmenin temelinde kişinin kendini o dilde iyi ifade edebilmesi ve yine o dilde söylenenleri ya da yazılanları anlayabilmesi bulunmaktadır. Bu sebeple kişinin yabancı dilde etkili bir iletişim kurabilmesi için sözcük dağarcığının zengin olması gerekmektedir. Dolayısıyla sözcük bilgisinin yabancı dilde oldukça önemli bir yeri vardır. Bu çalışmada Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretiminde bağlam temelli sözcük öğretim yönteminin uygulamadaki etkisi incelenmiştir. Bunun için B2 seviyesindeki katılımcılardan oluşan deney ve kontrol gruplarıyla çalışılmıştır. Kontrol grubuyla geleneksel yöntemle ders işlenirken, deney grubuyla bağlam temelli sözcük öğretim yöntemiyle ders işlenmiştir. Çalışma, nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin birlikte kullanıldığı karma desenli bir araştırmadır. Nitel çalışmalarda katılımcıların, sözcüklerin anlamlarına ilişkin tahminlerinin yer aldığı cümleler üzerinde doküman analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunda ise deneysel çalışma yapılmıştır. Gruplara ön test ve son test uygulanmıştır. Grupların kelime öğrenim seviyelerini karşılaştırmak için yapılan ön test ve son test verileri Mann Whitney-U Testi ile, her iki gruptaki değişimi kendi içinde değerlendirmek için de Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar Testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Ön testte her iki grubun birbirine yakın seviyelerde olduğu, son testte de deney grubundaki sözcük kazanımının kontrol grubundan çok daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmanın sonunda bağlam temelli sözcük öğretim yönteminin Türkçenin yabancı dil olarak öğretiminde sözcük öğrenimi üzerinde etkili bir yöntem olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
