Abstract

Yabancı dil ve ana dili kavramları, dil öğrenme süreçlerinin yapılandırılmasında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Yabancı dil öğretiminde, öğrenicilerin ana dillerini kullanıp kullanmamaları konusunda farklı yaklaşımlar ve görüşler bulunmaktadır. Geleneksel dil öğretim yöntemleri, yabancı dil sınıflarında sadece hedef dilin kullanılmasını ve öğrencilerin bu dile tam anlamıyla maruz kalmasını savunurken, bazı modern yaklaşımlar ise ana dilinin kontrollü bir şekilde kullanımının öğrenme sürecine olumlu katkılar sağlayabileceğini öne sürmektedir. Bu çalışmada, yabancı dil sınıflarında ana dilinin kullanımına yönelik farklı görüş ve yaklaşımları tespit etmek amacıyla kapsamlı bir literatür incelemesi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler ile güncel araştırmaların ana dilinin yabancı dil öğreniminde kontrollü şekilde stratejik bir araç olarak kullanımını desteklediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

APPROACHES AND DISCUSSIONS ON THE USE OF MOTHER TONGUE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM

https://izlik.org/JA88KA42AY

Abstract

The concepts of foreign language and mother tongue play an important role in structuring language learning processes. There are different approaches and opinions on whether learners should use their mother tongue in foreign language teaching. While traditional language teaching methods advocate the use of only the target language in foreign language classes and the full exposure of students to this language, some modern approaches suggest that the controlled use of the mother tongue can make positive contributions to the learning process. In this study, a comprehensive literature review was conducted in order to identify different opinions and approaches on the use of the mother tongue in foreign language classes. It was concluded that the data obtained, and current research support the controlled use of themother tongue as a strategic tool in foreign language learning.
