Eleştirel okuryazar olma yolunda İngilizce öğretmenliği öğrencilerinin eleştirel okuma yazma eğitiminin etkisi üzerine algıları
No full textReading and writing underpinning all university study and beyond it are two essential skills that have significant influences on students’ growth in critical thinking. Students who aim to use English for academic purposes in higher education contexts need to develop their understanding of what it means to read and write critically in English with the support of critical thinking skills. While studies exist in understanding the nature and practice of critical thinking in academic writing or reading separately, studies that investigate the critical reading and writing (CRW) process from the perspectives of readers and writers are limited. The goal of this study was to explore how ELT pre-service teachers’ CRW skills changed from their perceptions of their own development depending on the critical reading and writing practices they experienced in the CRW course. The data was obtained from the participants' reflections collected before and after the instruction enriched with criticality. Thematic analysis revealed that our participants have had a clear sense of change in the way of their reading and writing in the process of becoming more critical readers and writers. The findings have implications for providing a pedagogical framework to foster CRW skills in higher education instructional settings.Tüm üniversite hayatında ve sonrasında, okuma ve yazma öğrencilerin eleştirel düşünmedeki gelişimleri üzerine önemli etkiye sahip iki temel beceridir. Yüksek öğretim ortamında İngilizceyi akademik amaçlarla kullanmayı hedefleyen öğrenciler, İngilizcede eleştirel düşünme becerileri ile desteklenen okuma ve yazmanın ne anlama geldiğini kavramayı geliştirmeye ihtiyaç duyarlar. Ya akademik okuma ya da akademik yazmada eleştirel düşünmenin doğası ve uygulamasını anlamak için yapılan çalışmalar mevcut olmasına rağmen, eleştirel okuma ve yazma sürecini okuyucu ve yazarların bakış açısından araştıran çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İngilizce öğretmenliği programındaki öğretmen adaylarının eleştirel okuma ve yazma becerilerinin eleştirel okuma ve yazma dersinde deneyimledikleri pratiklere bağlı olarak nasıl geliştiğine yönelik bakış açılarını araştırmaktır. Çalışma verisi eleştirel bakışla zenginleştirilmiş uygulamadan önce ve sonra katılımcılardan toplanan yansımalardan elde edilmiştir. Tematik analiz, katılımcıların daha eleştirel okur yazar olma sürecinde anlamlı bir değişime sahip olduğunu açığa çıkarmıştır. Bulgular yüksek öğretim ortamlarından eleştirel okuma yazma becerilerini desteklemek için pedagojik bir çerçeve sağlamak açısından öneriler sunmaktadır

SICHUAN QINGYIN PERFORMANCE IN CHINA, THE TRANSMISSION PROCESS
Get PDFThis study is “Sichuan Qingyin Performance in China; The Transmission Process, Obstruction and Way to Resolve”. The study employed the qualitative research methodology of ethnomusicology. The objectives were to 1) Investigate the development of Sichuan Qingyin performance in China. 2) Examine the transmission process of Sichuan Qingyin performance in Sichuan and Chongqing, China. Based on the study findings, 1) Sichuan Qingyin is closely related to ancient Chinese Quyi art. The sources of Sichuan Qingyin are complex. Sichuan Qingyin was formed roughly during the early Qing Dynasty. From the late Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China, Sichuan Qingyin flourished. During this period, the performances of Sichuan Qingyin were very popular in the streets of Sichuan and Chongqing. Sichuan Qingyin has developed significantly since the People's Republic of China was founded. Due to changes in the times, Sichuan Qingyin is being squeezed by other art forms, so the present state of affairs is not optimistic. 2) Today, the transmission process consists mainly of school education and professional performance groups. There are many obstacles to contemporary Sichuan Qingyin, such as a lack of performance venues, a loss of audiences, and an absence of newly composed works; this study outlines corresponding measures and recommendations.
 
TEXTBOOKS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING IN VIEW OF GLOBALISATION, LOCALISATION AND GLOCALISATION
Get PDFRecent research has revealed that the relationship between language and culture stands out as an important factor in language teaching. The purpose of this study was to examine the cultural content of ninth-grade textbooks used in teaching English based on the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages (WRSLL), and also from teachers’ opinions. The study was conducted via phenomenology, one of the qualitative research paradigms. In accordance with the aim of the study, three textbooks prepared with global, local, and glocal perspectives were selected. As data collection tools, the WRSLL form and also semi-structured interviews were conducted, and with descriptive and content analysis techniques applied in analysing the collected data. The study group consisted of 50 English teachers who had used all three of the selected textbooks. The study’s findings revealed that the book with a local perspective was found to be inadequate in terms of its cultural content. It was also concluded that, according to the participant teachers’ views, there was no need to prepare a localised book for the Turkish context, and that universal books containing less localised content would be more suited to effective teaching. From this perspective, it is suggested that the regulations on textbook preparation issued by the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MoNE) should be revised in accordance with requirements of gaining intercultural knowledge.Alanyazındaki son araştırmalar, dil ve kültür arasındaki ilişkinin dil öğretiminde önemli faktörlerden biri olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İngilizce Öğretimi için kullanılan dokuzuncu sınıf ders kitaplarındaki kültürel içeriğin Dünya Öğrenme Hazırlık Standartları (WRSLL) ve öğretmenlerin görüşlerine dayalı olarak incelemektir. Çalışma nitel araştırma paradigmalarından biri olan fenomenoloji ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın amacına uygun olarak, küresel, yerel ve küresel bakış açıları ile hazırlanan üç ders kitabı seçilmiştir. Veri toplama araçları olarak WRSLL formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme, veri analizinde betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu üç ders kitabını da kullanan 50 İngilizce öğretmeninden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma, yerel bir bakış açısına sahip kitabın kültürel içerik açısından yeterli olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Öğretmenlerin görüşlerine göre, Türkiye için yerelleştirilmiş bir kitap hazırlamaya gerek olmadığı ve daha az yerel içeriğe sahip evrensel kitapların etkili bir öğretim için daha uygun olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu açıdan MEB tarafından ders kitabı hazırlama ile ilgili düzenlemelerin gözden geçirilmesi önerilmektedir
