The Effect of the Blackout Technique in Teaching Turkish to Foreigners on Students’ Creative Writing Attitudes

Öz

This study aims to examine the effect of the blackout technique on students’ creative writing attitudes in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. By introducing a new approach to the writing process, the study seeks to improve students’ writing competence and foster more positive attitudes toward writing. A pretest-posttest control group mixed design was employed with 60 C1-level students at Giresun University Turkish Language Teaching Center (TÖMER) during the 2023–2024 academic year. Participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Data were collected using the “Writing Attitude Scale for Turkish as a Foreign Language Learners” and a five-question interview form. Over a ten-week period, the experimental group engaged in creative writing activities using the blackout technique, while the control group continued with traditional writing tasks. Findings revealed that the blackout technique significantly enhanced the writing attitudes of the experimental group. Statistical analysis indicated higher post-test scores in the experimental group compared to the control group. Student feedback described the technique as fun, creative, and motivating, though some participants found it complex and at times tedious. Overall, the results demonstrate that the blackout technique effectively strengthens creative writing attitudes, increases motivation, and enriches the writing process. The study highlights the potential of this method to contribute to innovative writing practices in teaching Turkish to foreigners, while also emphasizing the need to account for individual differences in its application
