Les Globe-trotteurs 1 Ders Kitabının Sosyal Eylem-odaklı Yaklaşım Açısından Bir Analizi

Öz

Mini-projelerin dil ders kitaplarında kullanımına ilişkin son gelişmelerden biri, özellikle yurtdışında yabancı dil olarak Fransızca öğrenen gençler için yazılmış olan Les Globe-trotteurs 1 adlı Fransızca ders kitabının yayınlanmasıdır. Bu makale, Les Globe-trotteurs 1 ders kitabının 4. ünitesinde yer alan mini projeleri ve nihai projeyi sosyal eylem-odaklı yaklaşım açısından analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ünite 4'teki derslerin sonunda yer alan mini projelerin sadece nihai proje için iletişimsel bir hazırlık işlevi gördüğü sonucuna varılmıştır; bu projenin amacı da öğrencilerin önceki derslerin dil içeriğini yarı serbest bir şekilde yeniden üretmelerini sağlamaktır. Dolayısıyla, önerilen mini projelerin ve nihai projenin işlevi iletişim için bir bahanedir. Buna göre, bu ünitede önerilen mini projeler ve nihai proje en iyi şekilde karmaşık nihai görevleri olarak nitelendirilebilir. Sonuç olarak, ünite tasarımının sosyal eylem odaklı yaklaşımla uyumsuz olduğu sonucuna varılabilir.

An Analysis of the Textbook Les Globe-trotteurs 1 in terms of the Social Action-oriented Approach

Öz

A recent development in the use of mini-projects in language textbooks is the publication of the French textbook Les Globe-trotteurs 1, which is written primarily for teenagers who study French as a foreign language abroad. This article aims to analyse the mini-projects and the final project in unit 4 of the textbook Les Globe-trotteurs 1 in terms of the social action-oriented approach. It is concluded that the mini-projects at the end of the lessons of unit 4 serve, only, as communicative preparation for the final project, which itself mainly aims to allow the learners to resue the language content of all the previous lessons in semi-free production. Thus, the function of the proposed mini-projects and the final project is a pretext for communication. Accordingly, the proposed mini-projects and the final project in this unit can best be characterized as complex final tasks. Consequently, it can be concluded that the unit design is incompatible with the social action-oriented approach.
