Abstract

Çok kültürlülüğün ve buna bağlı olarak çok dilliliğin yaygın olduğu günümüz dünyasında, insanlar arasında iletişim kurmak ve bunun için de ikinci bir dili öğrenmek önemli hale gelmiştir. İkinci dili öğretirken de, hangi öğretim yönteminin uygulanması gerektiği her zaman sorun olmuştur. Yabancı dil öğretiminde neden başarılı olunamadığı ya da daha iyi bir dil öğretiminin nasıl gerçekleştirilebileceği konusundaki düşünceler, kuramcıları ya da dil öğreticilerini sürekli bir yöntem arayışına itmiştir. Bu çalışmada, yabancı dil öğretiminde yöntem sorunu ele alınmıştır. Yabancı dil öğretimini gerçekleştirmek için öğrenme-öğretme sürecinde geçmişten bugüne oluşturulan ve uygulanan yöntemler üzerinde durulmuş; yöntemin gerekliliği tartışılmış; postmodernizmin etkisinde gelişen yöntem sonrası dönem algısı ve bu yeni paradigmanın uygulanabilirliği konusunda bilgi verilmiş ve eğitimin paydaşlarının değişen rolleri ortaya konulmuştur.

A NEW PARADIGM IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING: THE POSTMETHOD PERIOD

Abstract

In today's world, where multiculturalism and accordingly multilingualism is common, it has become important to communicate among people and to learn a second language. When teaching a second language, it has always been an issue which teaching method should be applied. The considerations about why foreign language teaching could not be successful or how a better language teaching could be carried out led theorists or language teachers to constant search for a method. In this study, the matter of method in foreign language teaching is discussed. The methods constructed and applied from past to present in the process of learning and teaching to realize foreign language teaching were indicated; the entailment of the method is discussed; the perception of post-method period developed under the inuence of postmodernism and the applicability of this new paradigm are enlightened and the changing roles of the stakeholders of the training have been demonstrated.
