Abstract

İngilizce dünya çapında uluslararası bir dildir (Crystal, 2020). Bu nedenle, insanlar İngilizce konuşmayı ve farklı ülkelerden veya milletlerden olan diğer insanlarla nasıl iletişim kuracaklarını öğrenmek zorundadır. Ancak Türkiye'de İngilizce konuşmak için yeterli eğitim imkânı yok. Türkiye'de İngilizce öğretimi genellikle sadece dilbilgisi kurallarının öğretilmesiyle yapılır. Dolayısıyla öğrenenlerin İngilizce konuşamaması ya da İngilizce konuşsa bile insanlar her zaman hata yapmaktan korktukları için bazı sorunları da beraberinde getirebilir. Özellikle gramer kurallarında hata yapmaktan kaçınmaya çalışırlar. Öğrenciler konuşurken dilbilgisine ne kadar çok odaklanırlarsa, konuşma konusunda o kadar çok kaygıları olabilir. Bu nedenle, İngilizce öğrenen öğrencilerin çoğu konuşma konusunda kaygı duyar. İlkokuldan üniversiteye kadar İngilizce derslerimiz olmasına rağmen İngilizce konuşamıyoruz ve bu da öğrencileri konuşurken tedirgin ediyor. Bu noktada mizah stratejileri öğrenenlerde konuşma kaygısını azaltmaya yardımcı olabilir. Mizah stratejilerinin konuşma kaygısının üstesinden gelmede bazı olumlu etkileri olabilir. Araştırma, Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi Yabancı Diller Yüksekokulu'nda öğrenim gören İngilizce hazırlık sınıfı 1. sınıf öğrencilerinin mizah stratejilerinin konuşma kaygıları üzerindeki olumlu etkilerini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, yaşları 18-21 arasında değişen 250 üniversite hazırlık sınıfı öğrencisinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplamak için karma bir yöntem kullanılmıştır. Veriler kaygı ölçeği anketi, mizah stratejileri ölçeği ve görüşme soruları aracılığıyla toplanmıştır.

Abstract

English is an international language around the world (Crystal, 2020). Therefore, people have to learn how to speak English and how to communicate with other people who are from different countries or nationalities. However, there is not enough opportunities for education to speak English in Turkey. English language teaching in Turkey is usually carried out by just teaching grammar rules.. So, it can bring about some problems as learners can’t speak English, or even if they can speak English, people are always afraid of making mistakes. Especially, they try to avoid making mistakes with grammar rules. The more learners focus on grammar while they are speaking, the more they can have some anxiety about speaking. Hence, most of the learners who learn English have anxiety about speaking. Though we have English classes from primary school to university, we can’t speak English and it makes learners nervous while they are speaking. At this point, humour strategies can help to decrease speaking anxiety in t learners. Humour strategies can have some positive impact on overcoming speaking anxiety. The research aims to investigate the positive effects of humour strategies on speaking anxiety of English preparatory class 1st-year students studying at Necmettin Erbakan University School of Foreign Language. This study has been conducted with the participation of 250 university prep class students aged between 18-21. A mixed method has been used to collect data. Data has been collected through a survey of anxiety scale, a humour strategies scale, and interview questions.
