Öğretmen eğitiminde yazma becerisi için cümle türlerinin belirlenmesi

Bu araştırma, İngiliz ana dallarının dört temel cümle tipini tanımlama yeteneğini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. İngilizce dili, farklı türde mesajlar için her tür cümle olmak üzere dört tür cümleye sahiptir. Cümleler, tam düşünceleri ifade eden kelimelerin kombinasyonlarıdır. Cümleler, yazı ve iletişimin temel yapı taşlarıdır; bu nedenle, fikirlerimizi cümle haline getirmek, açık iletişim için şarttır. Geleneksel dilbilgisinde, dört temel cümle yapısı türü, basit cümle, bileşik cümle, karmaşık cümle ve İngiliz olmayan İngilizce öğretmenleri tarafından özdeşleştirilmesi problemli olabilen bileşik-karmaşık cümledir. İngilizce öğretmenlerinin akademik yazma becerilerini geliştirmek için İngilizce kelime düzenini ve cümle türlerini tanıması çok önemlidir ve dolayısıyla İngilizce öğretmenliğine ilişkin okullarda eğitim görenler için dört tür cümlenin tanımlanması zorunludur. Bu araştırmada, 35 İngilizce öğretmenliği öğrencilerine, ilk başarılarını en başa çıkarmak için çoktan seçmeli bir test olarak 20 soruluk ön test verildi. 6 saatlik yoğun cümle yapısı tanıma çalışmalarından sonra, 15 günlük bir süre sonra aynı ön test verildi, sonuncusu her birinden basit, bileşik, karmaşık cümleler ve bileşik-karmaşık cümle ayrımına ilişkin son başarılarını belirlendi. Ön test ve son testlerden elde edilen verilerin toplanmasından sonra, veriler SPSS 21 ile analiz edilmiştir. Ön testte başarı oranı %23'ü iken, Son testte başarı oranı %56 olduğu bulunmuştur, yani çıkış yüzdesi%23'tür.

Identification of sentence types for writing skill in teacher education

This research aims to explore the ability of English majors to identify the four basic types of sentences. Englishlanguage has four types of sentences, each kind of sentence for different kinds of messages. Sentences arecombinations of words that express complete thoughts. Sentences are basic building blocks of writing andcommunication; therefore, breaking our ideas into sentences is essential for clear communication. In traditionalgrammar, the four basic types of sentence structures are the simple sentence, the compound sentence, the complexsentence, and the compound-complex sentence, whose identification by the non-native student teachers may beproblematic. It’s crucial that English majors recognize word order and sentence types in English to improve theiracademic writing skills, and hence the identification of four types of sentences by English majors is a must. In thisresearch 35 English majors with low intermediate background were given a pretest of 20 questions in terms of amultiple-choice test to measure their initial success at the beginning. After 6 hours of intense sentence structurerecognition studies, they were given the same pretest, after al elapse of 15 days, as the posttest to determine theirfinal success on the discrimination of simple, compound, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentencesfrom each other. After the collection of data from pre-test and post-tests, the data were analyzed by SPSS 21. Itwas discovered that while pre-test’s was 23%, the mean score of the post-test came up to be 56 %, the percentageof ascent being % 23.
