Abstract:

Küreselleşme ve yeni dil öğretim teorileri ile birlikte, öğrencilerin İngilizce konuşmalarda yetkin olması beklenmektedir. Ancak bu, İngilizcenin yabancı dil olarak öğretildiği bağlamlarda oldukça zorludur. Ders kitabı ve sınıf içindeki dil hedef dilin gerçekliğinden farklı olduğu için, İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenen öğrencilerin çok az pratik yapma şansı olmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, simülasyon etkinlikleri kullanılarak aradaki uçurumu kapatmak hedeflenmiştir. Ayrıca, simülasyonlar öğrencilerin stratejik yetisini de geliştirebilmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra stratejiler sosyal olarak kabul edilen ve uygun görülenlerle de örtüşmelidir.  Başarılı bir konuşma inşa etmek ve onu sürdürmek açısından değeri göz önüne alındığında, stratejik ve pragmatik yetkinliği arttırmak son derece önemlidir. Dolayısıyla bu araştırma, yabancı dil bağlamının doğası ile İletişimsel Yaklaşım’ın gereksinimleri arasındaki uçuruma katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.

Araştırma, İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenen Türk öğrencilerin stratejik ve pragmatik yetkinliklerini simülasyon etkinlikleri yoluyla incelemektedir. Bu araştırma için lisede öğrenim gören otuz katılımcı ölçüt örneklem kullanılarak seçilmiştir. Ölçüt, bireylerin 1) lisede İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenen öğrenci olmasını ve 2) B1 seviyesinde İngilizce yeterliliğine sahip olmasını gerektirmektedir.

Araştırma üç aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öncelikle, katılımcılar ön test olarak çoktan seçmeli Söylem Tamamlama Görevi ve stratejik yetkinlik anketine alınmıştır. Ardından, sekiz haftalık simülasyon etkinliklerine maruz bırakılmışlardır. Eğitimden sonra da aynı ölçme araçları son test olarak uygulanmıştır. Son olarak sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır.

Sonuçlar, eğitimden sonra katılımcıların pragmatik yetkinliklerinin istatistiksel olarak geliştiğini göstermektedir. Dahası, katılımcıların çoğunluğu tercih ettikleri dil dışı stratejiyi dilsel olanlarla değiştirmiştir. Bu sebeple, simülasyon etkinliklerinin İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenenlerin stratejik ve pragmatik yetkinliklerini olumlu bir etkilediği sonucu çıkarılabilir.

Students who learn English as a foreign language will evaluate their strategic and practical abilities through simulation activities
2022
Author:  
Abstract:

Along with globalization and new language teaching theories, students are expected to be skilled in English speech. However, this is quite difficult in the contexts in which English is taught as a foreign language. Since the curriculum and the language in the classroom are different from the reality of the target language, students who learn English as a foreign language have very little chance to practice. In this study, it was aimed to close the gap between using simulation activities. Simulations can also develop the student’s strategic skills. In addition, strategies should be in line with those that are socially accepted and deemed appropriate. Given the value in terms of building andining a successful speech, increasing strategic and pragmatic capacity is extremely important. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to the gap between the nature of the foreign language context and the requirements of the Communication Approach.

The study examines the strategic and pragmatic skills of Turkish students learning English as a foreign language through simulation activities. Thirty participants who were studying at high school for this study were selected using sample standards. The measurement requires that individuals 1) be a student who learns English as a foreign language at high school and 2) have a level B1 English qualification.

The study was conducted in three stages. First of all, the participants have been taken to the previously selected Speech Complete Mission and Strategic Competence Survey as a preliminary test. Then they were exposed to eight-week simulation activities. After the training, the same measurement tools were applied as the last test. Finally, the results are compared.

The results show that the pragmatic skills of the participants after training are statistically developed. Moreover, the majority of participants changed their preferred non-language strategy with the linguistic ones. Therefore, it can be concluded that the simulation activities have a positive impact on the strategic and pragmatic skills of those who learn English as a foreign language.

Examining Strategic Competence and Pragmatic Competence Of Efl Learners Through Simulation Activities
2022
Author:  
Abstract:

With globalisation and recent language teaching theories, learners are required to be competent in English conversations. However, it is highly demanding in the EFL context. Since classroom and course book language differ from the target language's authenticity, EFL learners have little chance to practice. With simulation activities, the gap is attempted to fill in this research. Additionally, simulations can improve learners' strategic competence. Besides, strategies should fit in with what is socially acceptable and appropriate. Regarding their value in establishing and maintaining a successful conversation, it is significant to improve strategic and pragmatic competence. Hence, this research aims to contribute to the gap between the EFL context's nature and the Communicative Approach's requirements.

The research investigates Turkish EFL learners' strategic and pragmatic competence through simulation activities. For this research, thirty participants studying at high school were recruited using criterion sampling. The criteria required individuals to 1) be a high school EFL learner and 2) have B1 level English proficiency.

The research was conducted in three sections. First, samples were subjected to multiple-choice Discourse Completion Tasks (DCTs) and a strategic competence questionnaire as the pre-test. Following this, they were exposed to simulation activities for eight weeks. After training, the same data collecting instruments were conducted as a post-test. Finally, the results were compared.

Results show that the participants' pragmatic competence statistically improved after the training. Further, most of the samples changed their preferred strategy from non-linguistic means to more linguistic ones. Thus, it can be inferred that simulation activity positively affects the EFL learners' strategic and pragmatic competence.
