Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçe Öğretiminde Yapay Zekâ Uygulamaları

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde yararlanılabilecek yapay zekâ (YZ) destekli dil öğrenme uygulamalarının incelenerek bu uygulamaların kullanıcılarına sunduğu güncel fırsatların tespit edilmesidir. Böylece yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde bu uygulamalardan hangi amaçlarla ve nasıl yararlanılabileceğine ilişkin çıkarımlarda bulunulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda Türkçe öğrenme seçeneği bulunan YZ destekli dil öğrenme uygulamaları tespit edilmiş ve bu uygulamalar doküman analizinden yararlanılarak incelenmiştir. Doküman analizi ile elde edilen verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizi tekniğine başvurulmuştur. Bulgular YZ destekli uygulamaların öğrenenlere dil pratiği yapma, hedef belirleme/süreç izleme/dil öğrenme planı oluşturma, geri bildirim alma veya verme, sertifika alma, video/ses/fotoğraf gibi materyallerden yararlanma, oyun tabanlı öğrenme, çevrimiçi/çevrimdışı/etkileşimli derslerle öğrenme gibi fırsatlar sunabildiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca bulgular YZ uygulamalarının öğrenme süreçlerinin bireysel ilgi ve ihtiyaçlara uygun ve düşük maliyetli bir şekilde gerçekleştirilebilmesine aracılık edebileceğine işaret etmektedir. Bunlar YZ uygulamalarının öğrencilerin temel dil becerilerini geliştirme, öğrenme motivasyonunu ve başarısını artırma potansiyeline sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma sonuçları YZ destekli uygulamaların temel dil becerilerinin geliştirilmesi, söz varlığının zenginleştirilmesi, öğrenme motivasyonunun artırılması, telaffuz becerilerinin geliştirilmesi amacıyla yararlanılabilecek araçlar olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Bunlardan hareketle YZ uygulamalarının bilinçli ve etik bir şekilde kullanıldığında Türkçe öğrenme ve öğretme sürecine katkı sunabileceği söylenebilir. Ancak bu uygulamaların amacına uygun, dengeli ve doğru bir biçimde kullanımı önemlidir. Dolayısıyla YZ uygulamaları, bunların bilinçli ve etik kullanımı hakkında hem öğretmenlere hem de öğrencilere bilgi ve beceri kazandırmaya yönelik çalışmaların gerçekleştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

Artificial Intelligence Applications in Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language

Abstract

This research aims to examine artificial intelligence-supported language learning applications that can be used in teaching Turkish as a foreign language and to determine the current opportunities these applications offer their users. Thus, it aims to make inferences about how and what the purposes of these applications can be used in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. In this direction, AI-supported language learning applications that have the option of learning Turkish were identified, and these applications were examined using document analysis. The content analysis technique was used to analyze the data obtained through document analysis. Findings show that AI-supported applications can provide learners with opportunities such as language practice, goal setting/process monitoring/creating a language learning plan, receiving or giving feedback, receiving certificates, using materials such as video/audio/photo, game-based learning, and learning with online/offline/interactive lessons. The findings also indicate that AI applications can help learning processes to be carried out in a way that suits individual needs and is economical. These show that AI applications can potentially improve students' basic language skills and increase learning motivation and achievement. The research results indicate that AI-supported language learning applications can develop learners' basic language skills, enrich their vocabulary, increase learning motivation, and improve pronunciation. Based on these, it can be said that AI applications, when used consciously and ethically, can contribute to the Turkish learning and teaching process. However, the appropriate, balanced, and correct use of these applications is important. Therefore, it is recommended that studies be carried out to provide both teachers and students with knowledge and skills regarding the conscious and ethical use of AI applications.
