Practicing Genre-based Writing in the Context of Teaching Turkish as a Second Language

Öz

While second language (L2) writing skills pose challenges for learners, they are also unarguably consequential in academia. L2 writing studies conducted in Turkey are scarce, and most of them have an EFL focus. Studies on writing in Turkish as an L2 are almost nonexistent.  Following the initiative that language teachers should pay a closer attention to the realities that take place in their local sites of L2 writing instruction, this study aimed at capturing the views of a group of Turkish as an L2 learners who were engaged in genre-based academic writing as a part of their academic Turkish summer school. The participants followed the production principles of genre-based writing and provided the researcher with qualitative data at the beginning, during and at the end of their writing practices with several genres. The thematic analysis revealed a positive change in the participants’ views toward writing especially with the help of model text analyses and annotation writing activities and an increased genre knowledge toward the genre types studied.
