Abstract:

Planning a separate learning process for the four basic language skills in teaching foreign language is an important issue in this field. The materials should be designed in accordance with language competencies because the most important indicator of acquiring or learning language is the speaking skill, and the materials that are utilized to develop such skill are the most important tools in this context. The connection between language and culture requires the creation of a process for intercultural communication between the target language and native language in terms of speaking skills to accelerate and perpetuate learning. Based on this approach, when reviewing Turkish textbooks as a foreign language, the speaking activities that are in accordance with the intercultural approach are not in specific order, and there are numerical and proportional differences in such textbooks. In the study, B1- and B2-level speaking activities in Istanbul Turkish Teaching Set for Foreigners (ITTSF) and YediIklim Turkish Teaching Set (YITTS) were qualitatively examined using an intercultural communicative approach, and data from the analysis of such documents were compared. In addition, suggestions were made to prepare activities using this approach.
