LITERATURE AND ENGLISH CULTURE IN ELT
Dil, kültür ve edebiyat arasındaki devingen ilişki düşünüldüğünde, kültürün ve edebiyatın yabancı dil eğitiminde belirli bir yere sahip olmaları gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılabilir. Bu makalenin amacı üç ELT ders kitabı serisindeki (Speak Out, New Headway and Global) okuma parçalarında, edebiyata ve İngiliz kültürüne ilişkin öğelerin nasıl temsil edildiği konusuna ışık tutmaktır. Makale, ayrıca, bu okuma parçaları içerisinde edebi metinlere diğer metin türlerine kıyasla ne ölçüde yer verildiğini ve benzer şekilde İngiliz kültürünün diğer kültürlere kıyasla ne ölçüde temsil edildiğini incelemeyi amaçlar. Edebi ve kültürel öğelerin kullanılma şekillerinin başlangıç ve üst-orta düzeyler arasındaki farklar ve alt kategorilere ilişkin detaylar, bu öğelerin kullanılma sıklığını ve çeşitliliğini görmek amacıyla kullanılan içerik analizi yöntemiyle sunulmuştur. Makalenin sonuç bölümünde, bu ELT ders kitabı serilerinde okuma becerileri öğretim sürecinde edebiyatın ve İngiliz kültürünün ağırlığı hakkında fikir vermek amacıyla bulgular tartışılır
LITERATURE AND ENGLISH CULTURE IN ELT
The dynamic relationship among language, culture and literature leads to the idea that the latter two should find place in foreign language education. This paper aims to shed light on the representation of elements related to literature and English culture in the reading texts at elementary and upper-intermediate levels of three ELT coursebook series, Speak Out, New Headway and Global. It also endeavors to display the place of literary texts in comparison with other text types as well as that of English culture compared to other cultures. Differences between elementary and upper-intermediate levels of the ELT coursebooks in terms of how these elements are utilized and details related to cultural and literary subcategories are identified through content analysis which is employed to find out the frequency and variety of these elements. The paper concludes with the discussion of the findings to comment on the weight of literature and English culture in the process of teaching reading skills in these ELT coursebook series
