EFL Learners’ Attitudes Toward Translation: A Case Study On 19 Mayıs University Prep Class Students

Year 2022, Volume: 41 Issue: 2, 659 - 676, 30.12.2022

Abstract

Çeviri hayatımızın birçok alanında vazgeçilmezdir. Dil öğrenimi de çevirinin sıklıkla kullanıldığı alanlardan biridir. Çevirinin dil öğreniminde kullanımı kuramcılar ve eğitimciler tarafından tartışmalı bir konu olarak görülse de dil öğrenimi sürecinin birçok alanında önemli bir rol aldığı şüphesizdir. Bu sebeple, öğrencilerin dil öğrenimi sürecinde çeviriye karşı tutumlarını incelemenin önemi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu düşünceden yola çıkarak, bu çalışma Alt grup ve Üst grup olarak iki gruba ayrılan 19 Mayıs Üniversitesi hazırlık sınıfı öğrencilerinin İngilizce öğrenme süreçlerinde çeviriye ve çevirinin bir strateji olarak kullanımına karşı tutumlarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Üst grup Orta Üstü ve İleri seviye öğrencilerden oluşurken Alt grup Alt Orta seviye ve Orta seviye öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Öğrenciler üzerinde iki anket uygulanmış ve bulgular karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Karşılaştırmalı inceleme sonucunda, çalışma öğrencilerin dil seviyelerinin çevirinin dil öğrenimindeki rolü konusundaki düşüncelerini belirlemede önemli rol oynamadığını ve Üst grubun çeviriyi Alt gruba göre daha yaygın olarak kullanma eğiliminde olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
