İçinde yaşadığımız dünyanın giderek dijitalleştiği çağımızda, teknolojide yaşanan gelişmelerin eğitim alanında da yansımalarını görmek kaçınılmazdır. Geleneksel yabancı dil öğretim yöntemlerinin modern eğitim anlayışının gerektirdiği iletişim ve teknoloji ihtiyaçlarını karşılamada yetersiz oluşu, teknoloji destekli yabancı dil öğretim malzemeleri ve öğrenme ortamları ile yeni yaklaşım ve yöntemlerin geliştirilmesini zorunlu kılmıştır. Yaşam boyu öğrenme becerilerinin tartışıldığı eğitim dünyasında sınıf içinde ve sınıf dışında teknoloji ile desteklenmiş öğrenme ortamları oluşturulmasının sayısız yararlar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Teknolojiye olan düşkünlükleriyle bilinen “z kuşağı” öğrencilerin ihtiyaç duydukları etkileşimli dil öğrenme ortamları, sahip oldukları teknolojik araçlar da göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, “ağ günlükleri” olarak da bilinen bloglar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma, blog şeklinde teknolojik tabanlı bir sınıf dışı öğrenme ortamının yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğrenenlerin okumaya karşı tutumları üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktadır. Çalışma, B2 düzeyinde Türkçe öğrenen 52 yabancı uyruklu öğrencinin katılımıyla yürütülmüştür. Sekiz haftalık planlanan bu araştırma kapsamında araştırmacı tarafından özgün bir blog sitesi tasarlanmış, hazırlanan içerik bir ders dışı etkinlik olarak uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin okumaya yönelik tutumlarının saptanması amacıyla, çalışma öncesi ve çalışma sonrasında okuma tutum ölçeği uygulanarak elde edilen veriler nicel yöntemlerle analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, öğrencilerin okumaya yönelik tutumlarında uygulama sonunda pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir değişim olduğunu göstermiştir.
In our age, in which the world is digitalized day by day, it is inevitable to see the reflections of technological developments in the field of education. Since traditional foreign language teaching methods are inadequate to meet the communication and technology needs of modern education system, technology supported foreign language teaching materials and learning environments and new approaches and methods have to be developed. It is thought that the creation of learning environments supported by technology within the classroom and outside the classroom is considered to provide numerous benefits in the education world where lifelong learning skills are discussed. The interactive language learning environments needed by the “Generation Z” students, known for their indulgence in technology, are emerging as blogs, also known as “web diaries”, when the technological opportunities they have are taken into consideration. This study investigates the effectiveness of a blog-based out-of-class learning environment on the attitudes of Turkish as a foreign language student towards reading. The study was conducted with the participation of 52 foreign students learning Turkish at B2 level. Within the scope of this eight-week planned study, a blog page was designed by the researcher and the prepared content was applied as an extracurricular activity. In order to determine the students’ attitudes towards reading, the data obtained by applying reading attitude scale before and after the study were analyzed by quantitative methods. The results of showed that there was a significant positive change in the students' attitudes towards reading by the end of the study.
