POETRY WRITING WITH THE CREATIVE WRITING METHOD AVAILABLE IN THE "NETZWERK B1.1" COURSE BOOK IN TEACHING GERMAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Yazma becerisi, yabancı dil öğretiminde en önemli becerilerden biridir. Bireyin dile ne kadar hakim olduğu, bu dildeki konuşma ve yazma becerilerinde gösterdiği başarısı ile ölçülür. Yabancı dilde yazabilmek için öğrencinin okuduğunu ve duyduğunu anlayabilmesi, dilbilgisi kurallarını kullanabilmesi ve kendisini ifade edebilecek kelime hazinesine sahip olması geliştirilmesinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Ders kitaplarında yer alan etkinlikler, öğrencinin seviyesine uygun olarak belirlenip onun motivasyonunu ve yazma davranışını arttıracak şekilde verilmelidir. Yaratıcı yazma yöntemleri, bu etkinliklerin içinde yer almaktadır. Günümüz yabancı dil derslerinde yaratıcı yazma kavramına daha sık rastlanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, daha önce öğrenilmiş dil bilgileri ile birlikte yaratıcı yazma yöntemlerini kullanarak öğrencinin dil becerisinin geliştirilmesine ek olarak öğrenme isteğini ve motivasyonunu arttırmaktır. Klasik yazma yöntemleri ile çalışmak çoğu zaman öğrenciler tarafından sıkıcı ve motivasyonu azaltan bir çalışma olarak görülüyor. Yazma becerisini geliştiren yaratıcı yazma yöntemlerinden birisi olarak, Almanca ve yabancı dil olarak Almanca derslerinde başarıyla uygulanan tekniklerden "destek yapılar" veya "yapı iskeleleri" içinde yer alan yazma tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda "Netzwerk B1.1" ders kitabında yaratıcı yazma etkinlikleri içinde yer alan Elfchen-Şiir örneğinden yola çıkarak Uludağ Üniversitesi Alman Dili Eğitimi 1. Sınıf öğrencilerinden Yazma Becerileri dersi kapsamında şiir yazmaları istendi. Öğrencilerin yazdığı şiir örnekleri, çalışmanın ekinde yer almaktadır

Writing skill is an important skills in the teaching of foreign languages. Course books have an important role play in the development of writing skills. The activities in the course books should be determined in accordance with the existing level of the students in an attempt to will increase their motivation and writing behavior. The aim of this study is to improve the language skill of the students of the first year of study of the German Language Education Department of Uludağ University using the creative writing methods together with the already learned linguistic knowledge as well as to increase their learning motivation and desire. Working with classic writing methods is often seen as a tedious and not motivating work of students. As one of the creative writing methods to improve writing skills, the techniques such as the "support structures" or "scaffoldings" successfully used in German as a foreign language lessons have been benefited from. For this purpose, based on the example of Elfchen-Poetry included in the creative writing activities in the course book "Netzwerk B1.1", students were asked to write poetry. One can give the students the sense of achievement that they can write poetry even in the foreign language. Examples of poetry written by students are included in the study.Writing skill is one of the most important skills on foreign language education. How much the person has a command of language is evaluated with showing the success in writing and speaking skills in this language. To be able to write on a foreign language, the student must be able to understand what the learners read and heard, use grammar rules, and have the vocabulary knowledge to express themselves. Course books have significant role for development of writing skill. The activities which are including in coursebooks must be selected according to learners’ level, must be increased the learners’motivation and development of their writing skill. Creative writing methods take part in these activities. The notion of ‘creative writing’ is come across more frequently in today’s foreign language class. The aim of this study is increased the learners’ linguistic skill at the same time increased their motivation using previous grammar with the creative writing method. As one of the creative writing skill that develop the writing skill; is drew on writing techniques which are in ‘support structure’,’building scaffoldings’the techniques used successfully in German and German as foreign language classes. In this direction;by looking the poem ‘Elfchen’which is in creative writing activities in“Netzwerk B1.1”coursebook,the researcher wanted the learners to write poem.The poems written by learners are taken part in appendix. In this study, German as a foreign language students worked with the teaching material“Netzwerk B1.1+2”. ”Netzwerk” is a multimedial teaching material. It leads to the levels A1, A2 and B1 in six half-volumes or three volumes and prepares for the certificate of German as the foreign language. This study refers to the lectures ”writing” and ”conversation”, in which the corresponding tasks of”Netzwerk B1.1” are worked out together with the students for development of writing performance and conversation in lectures. An important method in the writing seminar is the creative writing. The creative writing can be defined as a special form of writing, which is process-oriented. It can be strongly guided by this process, but controls it less consciously than it is seen in writing research for general writing. In the creative writing, there are many numerous and varied creative writing methods. These procedures are according to Böttcher (1999), divided into six groups: associative procedures, writing games, writing according to specifications, rules and patterns, writing to and after literary texts, writing to stimuli, keep writing on creative texts. You can use all these procedures in different thematic contexts and in all lectures. With the help of a slight writing stimulus, here in this contribution with writing an elf, the students bring about something new, activate their power of imagination and fantasy. In this way, the ability of writing will be improved. Through the design of texts, they enrich their vocabulary and their grammatical knowledge because the words are assembled into sentence and into text like building blocks. ”Netzwerk B1.1.” allows the use of the creative writing techniques. In platform 1, which consists of replays and examing training, you meet under the category “writing workshop” on the elf. There is a box with the instructions for writing an elf. To starting with a topic, the students have developed their ideas in a cluster. In group work, the students have prepared a broad network of ideas on this topic using the cluster method, which gave them a wide range of topics when writing a story. The students who had already developed a writing idea and decided to write a poem, went to their place and tried to write an elf based on this example. After the correction, the students put their poem on a decorative sheet. The teacher attached the poems to a wall in a seminar room. The reflection took place in a circle, so that each student was given the opportunity to present the work. It is advisable to make the seat group insmall groups, as in case of larger groups. As in the case of larger groups, the students become restless after a while. It can be difficult to understand the students who read out and draw attention to them. The author presented his poem and the other students expressed their opinion. On the one hand the students internalized the opportunity to write an elf recipe and on the other hand they concentrated on the content of a poem by using the vocabulary which they had worked out previously with the help of the grammar from the lessons 1-3. Through this poem form they learned to be able to become small poets and to write lyrical texts. Furthermore, it was also observed that the writing in the group had made the students curious, and also eradicated writers’ blockades. The students are always enthusiastically, if they have the possibility of creative writing, so that it can be said that the creative writing enriches and changes the German teaching
