Özet:

Communication skills are seen as elements that enable individuals to express themselves effectively in everyday life. Through these skills, people can express their desires and goals, and they can also understand and codify various factors in their minds. The same situation applies as in the mother tongue as in foreign language learning. Individuals take advantage of their communication skills to express themselves in the target language they want to learn. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine how speaking and listening skills evaluated under the title of communication skills, how Turkish as a foreign language is addressed in the teaching process, what kind of activities are being carried out to develop their skills and what level of development of these skills is. The study was carried out through the phenomenological pattern assessed in the framework of the quality research method. The study group consisted of five teachers and ten students. The data of the study was collected through a standardized open-end interview form and a semi-configured interview form; these data were analyzed through content analysis. As a result of the discussions, it was found that communication skills were discussed separately, that the development of these skills was not at the desired level and that there were various deficiencies at the point of development of the skills. The results suggest that more activities should be used to develop communication skills and that individuals should experience real experiences in the form of group activities by giving them original tasks.
