Abstract:

In the research, it is aimed to reveal the distribution of the activities prepared for the four basic language skills in the "Gazi Yabancılar İçin Türkçe" (GYİT) and "Yedi İklim Türkçe" (YİT) B2 level textbooks in the context of activity types. With this study, it will be tried to shed light on books and similar resources that will be created to teach Turkish to foreigners by determining whether there are deficiencies in the activity types in the mentioned books or whether there are activity areas that are applied more than necessary. For this purpose, Ak's (2011) classification was used while determining the activity types. Data were collected by document review and analyzed by descriptive content analysis. As a result of the research, it was seen that the activities containing open-ended questions in both books were the most used activity type in all skills, while the activities created with other activity types were found to be less frequent. It is seen that some activity types are not used at all in activities for skills, which can be considered as a deficiency in terms of educational activity diversity. Instead of always focusing on the same activity types, it is stated in the recommendations of the article that the activities containing various question types are spread to all skills, so that students are confronted with more than one type of activity under each skill heading.
