İngilizce hazırlık sınıfı öğrencilerinin yabancı dil öğrenmede modern teknolojileri kullanımı

Yabancı dil öğrencilerine iletişim yeterliği kazandırabilmek için yaratıcı ve etkili öğrenme ortamları sağlamak büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu bağlamda, teknolojinin yabancı dil öğreniminde kullanımı daha önemli bir hal almıştır. Bunun temel nedeni, bilgisayar ve diğer iletişim teknolojilerinin, yabancı dil öğrenenlerin, kendilerini hedef dile maruz bırakmaları ve kendilerine daha fazla doğal öğrenme ortamı sağlamasında oldukça önemli olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Teknoloji günümüz üniversite öğrencilerinin hayatında önemli bir yer kaplamaktadır ve bir kısmı da yabancı dil becerilerini geliştirmek için teknolojiden faydalanmaktadır. Ancak, yabancı dil öğrenme ve öğretme metot ve tekniklerinin, günümüz dijital okuryazarların isteklerine ne kadar cevap verebildiği ve öğrencilerin bu metot ve teknikleri ne düzeyde kullandığı tartışma konusudur ve Türk yükseköğretiminde bu konuda yeterli çalışma yapılmadığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğrencilerin yabancı dil öğreniminde teknolojiden nasıl faydalandıkları ve hangi stratejileri kullandıklarını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaca uygun olarak bir devlet üniversitesinin İngilizce hazırlık sınıflarında okuyan öğrencilere küçük ölçekli bir anket uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlara göre, öğrencilerin yabancı dil öğreniminde teknoloji kullanma konusunda çok istekli olmadıkları ve yaygın olarak kullanılan birkaç strateji dışında, pek çok öğrenme stratejisini kullanmadıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Öğrenciler bu konuda desteğe ihtiyaç duyduklarını belirtmişlerdir ve bu sonuca dayanarak, yabancı dil öğretmenlerinin de modern teknolojiyi sınıf ortamına aktarmak ve öğrencilere yol göstermek konusunda yeterli becerilere sahip olmaları gerektiği söylenebilir.

Language preparatory school students’ use of modern technologies to study English

Providing language students with creative and effective language learning environments so that they can gaincommunicative competence is of great importance. Therefore, integration of technology into language learninghas become much more valuable where the target language is taught as a foreign language, allowing learners toexpose themselves more to the target language and it helps create natural environments for language learning. Itis clear that today’s young learners are really keen on using technology. However, there is an argument going outabout if there is a change in methods of teaching and learning a foreign language in terms of satisfying the needsof these “digital natives” and there is not much information about this issue at tertiary level language teaching andlearning in Turkish context. Thus, the aim of this study is to address this gap and find out the most efficient and /or popular technologies used by learners to promote the development of language skills. Having this aim in mind,a small scale research was carried out among English language prep school students at a state university in Turkey.The results indicated that using modern technologies to study English is not very popular among the students andthey are not aware of most of the strategies they can use. Another significant result is that the students need guidingto integrate ICT in their studies. Therefore, teachers themselves have to have the required skills to work withmodern technologies to integrate ICT more into education settings.© 2020 JLLS and the Authors - Published by JLLS.
