MOBİL-YOĞUN-PODCAST DİNLEMENİN İNGİLİZCE ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ DİNLEME, KONUŞMA VE ELEŞTİREL DÜŞÜNME BECERİLERİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Yabancı dil eğitiminin nispeten göz ardı edilen beceri alanı olarak değerlendirilen dinlemenin, genel olarak dil becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde kritik bir rolü bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, dinleme becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde mobil teknolojilerin kullanımını içeren ve tablet bilgisayarlarda podcastler aracılığıyla yürütülen iki yıllık bir projenin bir parçası olan mobil-yoğun dinleme süreçlerinin etkilerine odaklanılmaktadır. Bu amaçla öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu deneysel desenin kullanıldığı ve yansız olarak atanan 58 (deney=29; kontrol=29) katılımcının yer aldığı yaklaşık 10 hafta süren deneysel işlem (mobil-yoğun-podcast-dinleme süreci) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu süreçte deney grubu katılımcıları sunuş yoluyla verilen dinleme ve sesletim dersine ek olarak 26 saat süren bir yoğun dinleme etkinliğine katılırken kontrol grubu katılımcıları ders kapsamının dışında herhangi bir dinleme etkinliğine katılmamışlardır. . Dikkat, tekrar ve dinleme yardımı sağlaması ve öğretici kontrollü olması ve mobil bir uygulama ile tablet bilgisayar ortamında gerçekleştirilmesi mobil-yoğun-podcast-dinleme sürecinin öne çıkan özellikleridir. Bulgulara göre, süreçte gerçekleştirilen dinleme etkinlikleri kapsamında deney grubunda bulunmanın dinleme-anlama, konuşma ve eleştirel düşünme becerileri ile eleştirel düşünme eğilimlerini artırmada anlamlı bir fark meydana getirmediği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Nitel analiz sonuçları ise dikkat ve motivasyona yönelik faktörlerin mobil-yoğun-dinleme etkinliklerindeki önemini ön plana çıkartmaktadır.

EFFECTS OF MOBILE-INTENSIVE-PODCAST LISTENING ON LISTENING, SPEAKING, AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS OF PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH TEACHERS

Abstract

As a relatively neglected side of foreign language education, listening-comprehension skill has vital role to promote other language skills. Part of a two-year project, this study aimed to examine the effects of mobile-extensive-podcast listening activities via tablet PCs on listening, speaking, critical thinking skills and critical thinking dispositions as well as listening strategy development of pre-service English teachers based on qualitative and quantitative data. For this aim, true experimental research model was adopted with a control group using pre/posttests. The intervention was Mobile-intensive-podcast-listening and the salient features of this intervention were that it was attentive, repetitive, supportive, instructor-led, and was delivered via an android application on tablet PCs. Findings indicated that mobile-intensive-podcast-listening had no significant effect on improving listening, speaking, critical thinking skills, and listening strategies. Based on the qualitative data, results highlighted the importance of attentional and motivational factors for improving listening skills.
