Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of the use of calling technique on the writing skills in the teaching of foreigners in Turkish. In the study, the predest-sontest combined control group has been used with unselective patterns. The study group is composed of 20 Syrian male students who study in the 11th grade in a state school in the center of Mersin in the 2017-2018 educational year and take Turkish courses at the B2 level. Students are not selectively assigned to the experiment (n=10) and control (n=10) groups according to the pre-test scores. Before the test, no process was carried out in the control group while the call technique was applied through the concept network creation activity in the experiment group. Independent groups that have a significant difference between the two group’s pre-test and estest points are determined by the t-test. According to the findings of the study, there was no significant difference (p>0.5) between the pre-test points of the experiment and control groups, while there was a significant difference (p<0.5) between the estest points. According to this, it was concluded that the calling technique had a positive impact on the ability of foreigners to write in Turkish teaching.
