Abstract:

Turkish language teaching aims to develop four basic language skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing) of the individual. Some strategies need to be used effectively to develop these learning areas, which are classified as comprehension and narrative skills. In this study, it was aimed to determine the distribution of listening / viewing and reading strategies in Turkish language textbooks prepared according to the 2019 Turkish Language Lesson Curriculum (TLLC) in terms of grade level, text type and textbooks. Accordingly, it was determined which reading and listening strategies are included in TLLC and how much of these mentioned reading and listening strategies are included in Turkish language textbooks. Document analysis method was used in the study designed with qualitative research method. The data collection of the study consists of sixteen 1st-8th grade Turkish textbooks taught in the 2019-2020 academic year. Frequency and percentage analysis, one of the descriptive analysis techniques, were used to analyze the data. According to the results of the research, it was determined that reading and listening strategies are distributed in a dispersed way and these strategies are not used in textbooks in a sufficient and balanced way in TLLC. According to the results of the research, it may be suggested that both the textbook writers and the teachers should use different strategies instead of insisting on using the same astrategies to improve their comprehension skills during the implementation of the course.
