Abstract

İçerik ve Dil Entegreli
Öğrenme metodu, dilin ve içeriğin dil aracılığıyla öğrenildiği, öğrencilere
kendi bağlamında anlamlı öğrenme deneyimi sunarak çift odaklı bir dil ve içerik
öğrenimi sağlar. Yapılan çalışmalar her ne kadar İçerik ve Dil Entegreli
Öğrenme metodunun öğrencilerin kelime bilgisi ve okuma becerileri üzerinde olumlu
etkileri olduğunu gösterse de, Türkiye bağlamında bu alandaki çalışmalar
yetersizdir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma İçerik ve Dil Entegreli Öğrenme metodunun
uygulandığı ortamlarda eğitim alan öğrencilerin okuma becerileri ve kelime bilgilerinin
bu ortamda eğitim almayan öğrencilerden ne kadar farklılık gösterdiğini
araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Veriler 124 tane beşinci sınıf öğrencisinden
İngilizce testi (Cambridge KET), 2.000 kelime sıklık bandındaki Kelime Seviye
Testi (Schmitt, Schmitt, & Clapham, 2001), ve Kelime Bilgisi Ölçeği’nin
(Paribakht & Wesche, 1997) uyarlanmış versiyonu ile toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar,
İçerik ve Dil Entegreli Öğrenme metodunun uygulandığı ortamlarda eğitim alan
öğrencilerin bu ortamda eğitim almayan akranlarından okuma becerisi, algısal ve
üretimsel kelime bilgisi açısından anlamlı bir şekilde daha iyi olduklarını
göstermiştir.

Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Size of CLIL and Non-CLIL Students: A Comparative Study

Abstract



Content and Language Integrated
Learning (CLIL) has a dual focus both on content and language teaching in
which students learn through and about language and provides contextualized
and meaningful situations. Although studies on the impact of CLIL on
learners’ vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension have mostly positive
results, related research is highly limited in Turkish context. Thus, this
study aims to examine to what extent CLIL students differ from non-CLIL
students in terms of their reading comprehension and vocabulary size (i.e.
receptive and productive). Data were collected from 124 fifth-grade students
by means of the reading parts of the Cambridge Key English Test, the
2,000-word frequency-band of the Vocabulary Levels Test (Schmitt, Schmitt,
& Clapham, 2001), and the adapted version of the Vocabulary Knowledge
Scale (Paribakht & Wesche, 1997). Results of the study showed that the
CLIL students significantly outperformed their non-CLIL counterparts in
reading comprehension, receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge.
