Bernard Shaw’un Pygmalion (1912) adlı oyunu, dil ile toplumsal algı arasındaki bağlantıyı çarpıcı bir şekilde göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, Pygmalion’daki standart ve standart olmayan İngilizce kullanımının oyunda farklı toplumsal sınıfların ve bölgesel kimliklerin belirteçleri olarak nasıl tasvir edildiğini göstermeyi amaçlar. Bu şekilde, oyunun İngilizce öğretmeni adaylarında toplumdilbilim farkındalığı geliştirme konusunda potansiyelini tartışmayı da hedefler. Çalışma, eğitim tasarımı araştırması olarak, oyunu belge analizi yöntemiyle incelemekte ve sınıf içi kullanımına dair öneriler sunmaktadır. Çalışmada amaçlı örneklem kullanılmıştır. Pygmalion adlı oyun özellikle zengin dilsel temaları ve metinsel analiz için uygunluğu nedeniyle seçilmiştir. Metin analizi, oyunun dil ile bölgesel kimlik, toplumsal statü ve mesleki kimlik arasındaki karmaşık ilişkileri nasıl tasvir ettiğine odaklanmaktadır. Bulgular, Pygmalion’un ağız farklılıklarını, standart ve standart dışı İngilizcenin kültürel ve sosyal etkilerini, dilin toplumsal ve mesleki algıları şekillendirmedeki gücünü göstermedeki eğitimsel değerini vurgulamaktadır. Sonuç olarak, araştırma, dikkatlice seçilmiş edebi metinlerin öğretmen adaylarının toplumdilbilim farkındalıklarını etkili bir şekilde geliştirme ve eleştirel bakış açısına sahip eğitimciler yetiştirme potansiyelini ortaya koymaktadır. Ek olarak bu çalışma Pygmalion’u İngiliz Dili Eğitimi müfredatına etkili bir şekilde entegre etmek için tasarlanmış sınıf içi etkinlikler sunmaktadır.

Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion (1912) dramatically illustrates the connection between language and social perception. This study explores the potential of Pygmalion to develop sociolinguistic awareness of pre-service English language teachers (PTs) by illustrating how standard and non-standard English varieties are depicted in the play as markers of distinct social classes and regional identities. As educational design research, the study utilizes a qualitative document analysis of the play and employs purposeful sampling to intentionally select Pygmalion for its rich linguistic themes and suitability for textual analysis. In addition to the analysis, the study provides recommendations for using the play in the classroom. The analysis focuses on how the play portrays the intricate relationships between language and regional identity, social status, and professional identity. The findings underscore the educational value of Pygmalion in illustrating dialectical shifts, the social implications of standard and non-standard English, and the power of language in shaping social and professional perceptions. Consequently, the research reveals the potential of carefully chosen literary texts to effectively foster PTs’ sociolinguistic awareness, ultimately developing more critically aware educators. Additionally, the research provides practical in-class activities designed to effectively integrate Pygmalion into pre-service teacher education curricula.
