İNGİLİZCE MİZAH METİNLERİNİN 9. SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN İNGİLİZCE DERSİNE YÖNELİK TUTUMLARINA ETKİSİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, İngilizce dil öğretiminde 9. sınıf öğrencilerine İngilizce mizah içerikli metinler okutarak onların İngilizce dersine yönelik tutumları ile mizah içerikli ders materyalleri arasında anlamlı bir etkinin olup olmadığını, cinsiyet farklılığı ve okul türleri değişkenlerini göz önünde tutarak belirlemektir. Bu hedef doğrultusunda araştırma için ön test-son test denkleştirilmemiş kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel model kullanılmıştır. Deney grupları için her hafta bir ders saati süresince İngilizce mizah içerikli metinler ile okuma etkinliği gerçekleştirilirken, kontrol gruplarının derslerine herhangi bir müdahalede bulunulmamıştır. Araştırma sonunda mizah içerikli metinlerin öğrencilerin İngilizce dersine yönelik tutumlarının etkisine bakıldığında devlet okulu deney grubunun, özel okul deney grubuna göre İngilizce dersine yönelik tutumlarında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kadın öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre derse yönelik tutumlarının daha olumlu olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular çerçevesinde, İngilizce mizah içerikli metinlerin, 9. sınıf öğrencilerinin İngilizce dersine yönelik tutumlarında önemli bir etki yaratabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
