Abstract:

It is important to show a picture of the current situation when planning or evaluating the language teaching process. Identifying the needs and perceptions of students and teachers towards a subject area, identifying their problems and creating a need-based action plan can make language teaching more effective. In this direction, this research has studied the ability to understand that you listen through a comprehensive approach, the student and the materials. The purpose of the study is to identify the needs and existing perceptions of students who learn Turkish as a foreign language and teaching Turkish as a foreign language to listen to the skills of students who learn Turkish as a foreign language, to evaluate the materials used. In the framework of the research, the data was collected through a structured conversation form, analyzed by content analysis and given frequency values. It also examined the text and activities in the Turkish curriculum in the courses. According to this, it has been found that students and teachers see that the text is fast as one of the biggest problems of understanding that they listen to. Although 80% of readers emphasize that the most difficult thing to understand is the speed of the text, according to students, the speed of the text, the duration of the text, the incomprehensibility of the speech, the lack of knowledge of the word, the difficulty of listening to a word and the rest of the text, is one of the major problems that they encounter. Students have pointed out that they prefer listening when the subject is interesting, they like the listening sections in their books, and that listening is a skill that needs to be enriched in the content of the lessons. In this context, it is recommended that authentic listening records be used in courses, that teachers be provided in service training in the field of listening training, that the listening sections in the curriculum books be included in authentic records, that they be taught in connection with other language skills, and that the diversity of activities in the books be increased.
