İngilizce Öğretiminde İngilizce Öğrenenlerin İşaret Zamiri Hakkındaki Dil Farkındalıkları

Öz

İngilizce öğretiminde dört beceride anlam büyük önem taşımaktadır. Anlam yeterince aktarılmadığında, İngiliz-ce öğrenenler dili öğrenmede zorluklarla karşılaşabilirler. Bu zorluklar, öğrencilerin dil kullanımı hakkında da-ha fazla ilgili olmalarına yardımcı olacak edimbilimin yardımıyla ortadan kaldırılabilir. Bu nedenle, bu eylem araştırması, öğrencilerin deixis ile ilgili dil farkındalıklarına dikkat çekmek için yapılmıştır. Deixis, bir ifadeyi bir zaman, yer veya kişiyle ilişkilendiren, dil sınıflarında öğrenenler için önemini araştıran ve edimbilimin dil far-kındalığı yaratmadaki katkısını vurgulayan bir kelime veya deyim için kullanılan bir terimdir. Araştırmanın katı-lımcıları orta düzey hazırlık sınıfında öğrenim gören üniversite öğrencileridir. Araştırmanın yöntemi, dil farkın-dalığının önemini anlamak için daha geniş bir yol yelpazesi sunmak için nicel (sayılar) ve nitel verileri (göz-lemler ve odak grup tartışması) içeren karma yöntemli bir çalışmadır. Bu ampirik çalışma, edimbilim yoluyla far-kındalığın, yeterli bilgi sağlandığında diğer dil becerilerinin yanı sıra iletişim becerilerine ve kavramaya önemli ölçüde katkıda bulunduğunu kanıtlamıştır. Bu nedenle, İngilizce öğrenenler ve Afrika dilleri gibi diğer dil öğre-nenlerin yanı sıra edimbilim yoluyla farklı bağlamlarda dil pratiği yapmak için fırsatları kullanmaya teşvik edil-melidir.

Language Awareness of the English Learners about Deixis in English Language Teaching

Abstract

In the teaching of English language, meaning is of great importance in four skills. When meaning is not conveyed adequately, English learners may face difficulties in learning the English language. These challenges could be eliminated with the help of pragmatics by assisting learners to become more concerned about language and language use. Hence, this action research was carried out to draw attention to learners' language awareness about deixis. Deixis is a term for a word or phrase relating an utterance to a time, place, or person, investigating its importance for the learners in language classes, and highlighting the contribution of pragmatics to create language awareness. The participants of the study were university students in the intermediate-level preparatory class. The method of the research was a mixed-method study involving quantitative (numbers) and qualitative data (observations and focus group discussion) to give a broader spectrum of ways to understand the significance of language awareness. This empirical study proved that awareness via pragmatics contributes significantly to communicative skills and comprehension as well as other language skills when adequate knowledge is provided. Hence, English learners as well as other language learners such as African languages should be encouraged to use opportunities in order to practice language in different contexts via pragmatics.
