Abstract:

According to the learning theory, the educational materials that will be used in the training and teaching process should be addressed to the student's needs. By determining the needs of students, the formation of the learning environment in accordance with these needs will improve the quality of teaching. In this context, this study aims to make an assessment based on the data collected on whether the "Strategies of Foreign Language Learning Curriculum" is a need. The sample of the research considered as a case study consists of 9 teachers, 15 teachers and 20 high school students, determined through the sample in the 2017-2018 educational year at Afyonkarahisar province center. The data of the study was collected through semi-configured forms of interview. The prepared interview form consists of the personal information section in which demographic information is obtained and the interview form in which the questions aimed at revealing the needs of the four basic principles of the curriculum (target-content-learning status- measurement assessment) are included. The data is analyzed by methods of analysis. Research findings show that students with an average success rate of 50 and above know what resources they need to take advantage of in the learning process of foreign languages, who can help them, the vast majority of them do daily and weekly repetitions, and therefore they do not need any additional study before the exam. Again, it is noted that these students have a positive attitude towards the English course and are willing to accept the promise. This affects students’ academic achievements in a positive direction. Students with a success of 50 and less have expressed their opinion on the opposite side of the students with a success of high. By moving from this situation, it is believed that students with low academic success can be contributed to their academic achievements by giving them a set of tips related to the course study and making them aware of their own learning strategies.
