AB  - The purpose of this paper is to explain how teaching aforeign language benefits from taking images of its culture into account, throughpresentation of curiosities related to the respective culture, culturalbackground and knowledge of the context of communication. The paper brings aninterdisciplinary studies approach to foreign language teaching, by looking forefficient teaching methods going through the fields of foreign languageteaching, evolutionary psychology (the humans’ need for stories), pragmatics,cultural curiosities, linguistics and student psychology. The conclusions ofthe paper show that the tendency towards visual thinking in learning leads toefficient ways of teaching techniques in order to fix new notions. Thelinguistic theories claiming that different languages can offer different waysof understanding and looking at the world may be used to arouse interest andmotivation in learners. We notice in YouTube video tutorials for foreignlanguage learning, such as a Russian inThree Minutes video, the tutor mentioning that in Russian, the equivalentfor the English greeting “good morning” is, literally, “kind morning”. Suchexamples can help learners form a true picture in their minds of the differentmindset and the different perspectives the foreign language they learn opens upto them.

N2  - Bumakalenin amacı yabancı dil öğretiminde, karşı kültürün imgeleri dikkatealındığında, edebi ve kültürel çevirinin dil öğretimi teknikleriyle bir aradanasıl kullanıldığını göstermektir. Yabancı dil öğretiminde kullanılan buimgeler, ilgili kültürle, kültürel mirasla ve iletişim bağlamı bilgisiyleilgili olup öğrenme motivasyonunu arttırır. Bu makale yabancı dil öğretimi,evrimsel psikoloji (insanların hikayelere olan ihtiyacı), edimbilim, kültürelmerak, dilbilim ve öğrenci psikolojisi alanlarındaki etkili öğretimyöntemlerini ortaya çıkararak yabancı dil öğretimine disiplinlerarası birçalışma yaklaşımı getirmektedir. Makalede varılan sonuçlar, öğrenmedegösterilen görsel düşünme eğilimi sayesinde yeni öğrenilen kavramlarındüzeltilmesi için etkili öğretim tekniklerinin geliştiğini göstermektedir.Farklı dillerin farklı anlama ve dünyaya bakış açıları sunabileceğini iddiaeden dilbilim kuramları, yabancı dil öğrenen kişilerin ilgisini çekmek vemotivasyonlarını arttırmak için kullanılabilir. Youtube’daki Russian in Three Minutes (Üç Dakikada Rusça)videosunda ders veren kişi, İngilizcede günaydın anlamına gelen “goodmorning” ifadesinin Rusçadaki bire bir karşılığının “kibar sabah” olduğunusöyler. Bu tür örnekler, öğrendikleri yabancı dilin kendilerine sunduğu farklıdüşünce yapılarına ve bakış açılarına dair zihinlerinde gerçek bir resimoluşturabilmeleri için yabancı dil öğrenenlere yardımcı olabilir.
