Özet:

The ability to learn English and to use this language effectively is an effort that millions of people in the world spend great work today. Especially the fact that English has gained the status of common language (lingua franca) worldwide and in the short term there is no other language to take this power out of the hands of English is a sign that the importance that people attribute to learning English will increase. In fact, when we look at the language teaching policies in different countries, we see that in many countries, including the Middle East and Africa, English is taught to children from primary school. In this context, we have seen that in Turkey in the last few years, English was taught in the public schools from the second grade of primary school. We can say that this process begins in private schools from the first class or even from the kindergarten. In order to strengthen these steps, the current teaching programs that have been integrated with new understanding of education last year have entered into force. But the fact that Turkey is a country where English is taught as a second language rather than a foreign language makes the English learning process a bit strong. Especially for adults, this process can be even more difficult. In addition to all these aspects, there are serious differences between learning English in our country and being able to use English. For example, a person with 80 points from the Foreign Language Examination, which has been performed by ÖSYM, can not express himself verbally when he travels abroad. In fact, the linguistic knowledge that it needs knows the structures and words, but it cannot practice the knowledge that exists in its mind when it needs it.
