THE IMPULSE OF CLASS TUTORING ACTIVITIES EVALUATED IN THE LIGHT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODS

Year 2017, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 290 - 300, 30.06.2017

Abstract

Teaching Turkish as a foreign language (TTFL) has recently gained much importance in modern life. For some reason, a large number of people and students within dissimilar contexts come from other countries so as to start off a new life primarily in Istanbul and/or many other cities in Turkey. The majority of them need to ensure their arrival and long term accommodations by visiting a language center. Some language institutes and foreign language centers, therefore, have been trying to meet these needs and give a certificate in accordance with European language portfolio (ELP) levels. The challenges foreign students encounter in Turkish courses and the ways by which language teachers/instructors help them to cope with these problems, the activities teachers carry out in the classroom and the materials and games they use in courses. The results of the illustrative case study reveal the mistakes which students make while learning their first, second or more foreign languages and it also evaluates them within the most frequently used language teaching methods.
Abbreviations:
TTFL : Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language
