Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçe Öğrenenlerin Kullandıkları İnternet Kaynakları ve Yapay Zekâ Araçları Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğrenenlerin Türkçe öğrenme sürecinde tercih ettikleri İnternet eğitim araçlarını ve yapay zekâ destekli uygulamaları belirlemektir. Bu araştırma, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan durum çalışmasıdır. Araştırmanın verileri, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğrenenlerin İnternet kaynakları ve yapay zekâ uygulamalarından hangilerini kullandıklarını belirlemek için bir yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Veriler, Türkiye'deki beş farklı üniversitenin Türkçe öğretim merkezlerinde eğitim alan ve çeşitli seviyelerde bulunan yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğrenen öğrencilerden oluşan bir çalışma grubuyla elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın verileri betimsel analizle incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları incelendiğinde öğrencilerin yirmi dört farklı uygulama ve araçtan en çok tercih ettikleri ilk üç uygulama %52,24 ile YouTube, %11,43 ile ChatGPT ve %5,71 ile Google Translate olmuştur. Katılımcıların %25,25’i kullandığı kaynaklar hakkında olumsuz görüş bildirmiştir ancak buna karşın %74,75’i uygulamalar hakkında olumlu görüş bildirmiştir. Kullanılan yirmi dört farklı araçtan en etkili bulunan ilk üç araç %35,43 ile YouTube, %19,69 ile ChatGPT ve %11,02 ile Google Translate olmuştur. Öğrencilerin kullandıkları araçlarda görmek istedikleri yirmi dört farklı özellik belirlenmiş olup, bunlardan en öne çıkanlar dil bilgisi öğretimi, kısa videolarla içerik aktarımı ve konuşma pratiği imkanıdır. Çalışma, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğrenenlerin çevrimiçi kaynaklar ve yapay zekâ uygulamaları kullanımına yönelik beklentilerini tespit etmiş; mevcut kaynakların değerlendirilmesi ve geliştirilmesi konusunda öneriler sunmuştur.

A Study on the Internet Resources and AI Tools Used by Learners of Turkish as a Foreign Language

Öz

The primary aim of this study is to identify the Internet educational tools and AI supported applications preferred by learners of Turkish as a foreign language during their Turkish learning process. This research employs a case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The data for the study were collected through a semi structured interview form to determine which Internet resources and AI applications are used by learners of Turkish as a foreign language. The data were obtained from a group of foreign language learners studying at Turkish teaching centers in five different universities in Turkey, representing various proficiency levels. The data of this study were analyzed descriptively. When examining the results, the top three applications preferred by students out of twenty-four different tools were YouTube at 52.24%, ChatGPT at 11.43%, and Google Translate at 5.71%. While 25.25% of participants expressed negative opinions about the resources they used, 74.75% reported positive feedback about the applications. Among the twenty-four different tools used, the top three deemed most effective were YouTube at 35.43%, ChatGPT at 19.69%, and Google Translate at 11.02%. Students identified twenty-four different features they wish to see in the tools they use, with the most prominent being grammar instruction, content delivery through short videos, and opportunities for speaking practice. This study has identified the expectations of learners of Turkish as a foreign language regarding the use of Internet resources and AI applications and has provided suggestions for the evaluation and improvement of existing resources.
