YABANCI DİL ÖĞRENMENİN DÜŞÜNCE YAPISINA ETKİLERİ
Abstract
Is the main aim of learning a foreign language limited to a certain extent to expressing
oneself? Even if one starts with this purpose, as one becomes more proficient in a
language, is the benefit mere transfers of meaning? Languages are not only tools for
transferring meanings written or orally; they also shed light on the way native speakers
of that language see the world. They form a source of culture by moreover introducing
a different point f view on life. A foreign language, thus, helps learners of all ages,
educational levels and mentalities by giving them a certain “broad-mindedness” and
“flexibility” over time. French is an occidental language which complies with nearly
all concepts of Turkish. Observing the similarities, and approximations as well as the
differences between the two languages prove that the learner’s society has no monopoly
on “the one absolute truth”. This observation is likely to make the learner more “human”,
more “tolerant,” and more of a “worldcitizen” socially. This thesis will be demonstrated
under the following headings:
A) Grammar acquisition: Experience show that people with a solid knowledge of
grammar in their mother tongue acquire another language with less trouble. A strong
foundation in the native tongue provides a favorable environment for the learning of
another language.
B)Vocabulary: Do the learner’s personal characteristics affect the process of
acquiring vocabulary?
C) Expressions, proverbs: Do the exact or approximate translations of proverbs and
expressions that reflect the social life of a society help us reach a common universal
thinking and feeling?
