EVALUATION OF THE TEXTS IN TURKISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE COURSE BOOKS IN TERMS OF FORMULAIC EXPRESSIONS

Abstract

Since primitive times, the need to communicate with each other has paved the way for the use different types of languages; and the question of language has become an unsolvable, complex issue. It is not possible to limit language with definitions. Language, as a social institution, differs from other languages with the cultural and social structure it has been shaped through; and forms its own lexicon. Aksan (1996:9) ; considers the lexicon of a language as “a whole made up of not only the words, but also the idioms, communicative expressions, formulaic expressions, proverbs, terms and various sets of expressions of that language.”
As there are numerous lexical items in a language, there are numerous cultural elements as well. Each unit among the lexicon provides an important communication between the speaker of that language and the cultural values to which that language belongs; and strengthens the relationship between them. Formulaic expressions, or in other words, communicative expressions are the most significant ones among these units that constitute the lexicon. Cultural transfer has an important role especially in teaching Turkish to foreigners. The functionality of these units is noteworthy in the transfer and the deliberate use of the cultural elements of that language.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the texts in beginner level (A1) Turkish as a foreign language course books in terms of formulaic expressions (communicative expressions). The data sources for the study are the A1 level books of Lale and İstanbul series. Transferring the culture is quite important in teaching a language. In order to present the language along with the culture, formulaic expressions (communicative expressions) should be included frequently, particularly in the beginner level course books.
