ÇOKLU DİL ÖĞRENİMİ VE AYNI DEĞİŞTİRGEN DEĞERLERİNİN ÖNEMİ

Abstract

In this paper, the theoretical consideration which constitutes the basics of the project NEWAP (A New Approach by simultaneously learning of languages) is presented. The aim of the project is to facilitate to learn Finnish, Hungarian and Turkish at the same time by comparative approach and to strengthen a dialog among different countries and cultures through a new method. It is claimed that in the acquisition of a certain structure of a language Ln, learner uses the structure of the language which is typologically closest to Ln in previously acquired languages in the second language acquisition (see Fuller, 1999; Leung, 2003a, 2003b). On the other hand, since three languages share considerable similarities in respect to the values of the parameters in the Universal Grammar, the learners can set only one parameter for three languages. The similarities in the typology and parametric values between three languages may facilitate and speed up the learning process for the L2 learner

Keywords

• multiple language learning

MULTIPLE LANGUAGE LEARNING AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SAME PARAMETER VALUES

Öz

Bu yazıda NEWAP (A New Approach by simultaneously learning of languages) projesinin temellerini oluşturan düşüncenin kuramsal temelleri tanıtılmaktır. Bu projenin amacı, karşılaştırmalı bir yöntemle eşzamanlı olarak Fince, Macarca ve Türkçenin öğrenilmesini kolaylaştırmak ve farklı ülke ve kültürler arasındaki diyalogun yeni bir yöntem aracılığıyla geliştirilmesini sağlamaktır. İkinci dil edinimi alanyazınında, Dn dilinin belirli bir yapısının ediniminde, öğrenicinin daha önce edinmiş olduğu dillerden Dn’ye tipolojik olarak en yakın olan dilin yapısını kullandığı ileri sürülmektedir (bkz. Fuller, 1999; Leung, 2003a, 2003b). Diğer yandan, Evrensel Dilbilgisinin değiştirgen değerleri bakımından üç dil önemli bir benzerlik gösterdiğinden, öğrenici üç dil için sadece tek bir değiştirgen ayarlayacaktır. Üç dilin değiştirgen değerleri ve tipoloji bakımından benzerlikleri de öğrenim işlemini hem kolaylaştıracak hem de hızlandıracaktır
