Abstract:

For the foreigners that learn Turkish, it is observed that writing is more compelling than speaking ability in the text production. Text value of the written materials of the students is related to certain criteria. These criteria are, homogeneity, coherence, intentionality and acceptability, informative, contingency and intertextuality. While the coherence and consistency of the listed criteria are related to the text level, the others are based on readers. In this context, textual criteria also touch on the communication which is the basic function of a text. In order to fulfill the communication functions of a text, it is prerequisite that to be coherent and consistent within their. These two basic facts are very important in the written texts which are created by students. Each coherent structure don’t demonstrate the consistency of the feature, because of that those can’t be considered as text. Consistency can be explained as the main fact which confers the text feature to the structure. Knowing the features of the consistency of the written texts which are written by foreigners who learn Turkish is important because of providing a communication unit in the detection of skill levels to produce written texts and giving the necessary support to students who are behind in terms of level. In this context, the purpose of the study is providing the students consistency from the beginning of the criteria to be treated as text in the composition of a structure is to determine to how they extent that attention. Working group of the research is composed of Polish students. The collection of data was used to examine the possibilities of qualitative research and weaving method is used. The collected data were analyzed by the content analysis. By the texts which were produced by students there have been several suggestions in the context of what to do about consistency.
